Mettler Toledo, a provider of precision instruments and inspection solutions, will showcase its latest product inspection technologies at PPMA Show 2026, taking place from 22 to 24 September at the NEC Birmingham.
NEW: Advanced metal detection with the M50 R-Series
Visitors will experience the inaugural showcase of the M50 R-Series AdvancedLine metal detection platform in the UK. The system has been developed for food manufacturers of unpackaged and packaged, wet, dry or bulk products looking to balance high sensitivity detection with productivity, traceability and audit readiness.
A 10.1 inch capacitive touchscreen provides an intuitive user experience and works even when users are wearing gloves or when the screen is wet. The new INFINITY Electronic Test System (ETS) represents a significant advance in routine testing, automating essential processes and improving productivity. Brand protection is enhanced through Radio-frequency identification (RFID) access control which supports individual user logins, with instant access to on-screen details in the user’s preferred language. These latest metal detectors include secure connectivity, and deliver the most sensitive, compliant, and future-ready metal detection platform from Mettler Toledo to date. Even with these new and advanced features and functionality, ease of use has remained at the centre of the design.
Built around three core pillars of performance, productivity, and protection, the M50 R-Series supports manufacturers in delivering safer products by detecting the smallest of metal contaminants, keeping good products moving, and protecting more than just the product.
Precise and Complete Inspection for Small to Medium Products
A key focus on the stand will be the X12 x-ray inspection system, which will demonstrate how x-ray technology can support manufacturers working with increasingly complex products, packaging formats and production demands.
The X12 is a high performing, single-lane x-ray inspection for small to medium packaged products. As part of the X2 Series, the X12 has cutting edge detection capabilities with its HiGain detector providing accurate detection at an incredible price point. The system detects a wide range of physical contaminants, including metal, glass, mineral stone, calcified bone and high-density plastics, depending on the product and application. In addition to foreign body detection, the X12 can support further product and packaging quality checks, helping manufacturers identify issues such as missing, damaged or incomplete products.
Reliable checkweighing for product control
The C23 PlusLine Checkweigher will demonstrate how accurate in-line weighing can help manufacturers identify underfilled and overfilled products, reduce product giveaway and support compliance with weights and measures requirements.
Designed for heavy-load checkweighing applications, the C23 combines robust construction with dependable weighing performance and can be integrated into a wide range of production lines. It is suited to manufacturers handling larger packs, cartons and heavier products, where weighing accuracy, line reliability and product handling are central to production control.
