The Combination Unit is normally a Checkweigher and Metal Detection System built into a single framework. This proves to be a popular choice for many industries as it often carries a smaller footprint than the two individual systems would require, whilst also combining the statistics for both metal counts and weight totals into handy shift and batch quantities. Although there are some risks in combining these two systems in potential production downtime, the lower initial costs versus individual systems means there are many Combination Systems retailed each year and plenty already within the field.
Combination Systems typically have two reject bins for segregating metal rejects and incorrect weights from production. In order to further save space these bins can often be found facing each other requiring operator access to both sides of the production line.
