Best Practice Manufacturer 

Achieves Optimum Quality 

Zentis GmbH & Co ensures the high quality of its products by insisting on the 

best raw materials and the latest technology. They utilize x-ray inspection 

solutions and metal detection technology for pumped products to guarantee 

only the safest products reach consumers. 

Since 1893, Zentis has been producing 

high-quality preserves and fine confectionery 

for end consumers as well as numerous 

preparations for the processing 

industry. It provides fruity ingredients for 

many yogurt, curd and dessert products 

and baked goods. Zentis was one of the 

first companies to be certified to DIN ISO 

9001. This certification has since been 

superseded by the IFS (International 

Food Standard) and the BRC Global 

Standard for food safety. 

For several years now, Zentis has been 

classed as ‘higher level’ or ‘A grade’ 

whenever it has undergone an IFC or BRC 

inspection. Every time, it achieves the 

best scores for food safety throughout the 

entire manufacturing process. 

The InspireX R70 x-ray 

inspection system 

As a pipeline system, the InspireX R70 x-ray 

inspection system inspects pumped products; 

in other words, liquids, slurries and 

semisolids. The system’s electronically 

controlled x-ray generator and the 

proven image analysis software put the 

InspireX R70 head and shoulders above 

other x-ray inspection systems. The 

smallest of contaminants and/or product 

deviations are analyzed and detected in 

real-time by the system with the aid of a 

vast number of test algorithms. 

Defective products can be removed by 

fully automated means if desired. This is 

exactly what happens at Zentis, where removal 

is performed under sterile conditions.

Know-how 

X-ray Inspection of 

Pumped Food 

Safety. Right from the start. 

X-ray inspection systems deliver high 

levels of contaminant detection in 

pumped food products, ranging from 

meat and poultry to liquids, slurries 

and semi-solids like jams, sauces, 

soups and yogurts. 

There are several factors which need 

to be taken into account when inspecting 

pumped food products, 

such as the possibility of air bubbles, 

variations in the flow speed and location 

of the x-ray system on the 

production line. 

Our white paper, “Improving the Safety 

of Pumped Food Products”, looks 

at these factors and explains how to 

overcome them.

Floor Scales 


Hygienic Floor Scales 

Work Horses for Wet & Harsh Environment 

Fixed installation, liftable, or mobile solutions, hygienically designed floor scales provide 

enormous flexibility in production planning and are built for fast and efficient cleaning 

procedures. Depending on your application, different models may suit. The selection of the 

appropriate floor scale enhances food safety and increases production performance. 

Floor scales used in wet and harsh environments 

are confronted with heavy 

loads, rough handling, waste material 

and are regularly flooded with water during 

cleaning procedures. To ensure safe 

food production, floor scales must be 

built and installed according to sound 

sanitary design principles, resist corrosive 

environments, withstand cleaning detergents 

and allow simple and frequent 

loading, weighing and unloading. 

METTLER TOLEDO builds different types 

of floor scales all specifically designed for 

maintaining sanitation in wash down areas. 

The rugged design and stainless 

steel construction enable these scales to 

stand up to tough industrial environments. 

Their ingress protection starts 

from IP65 for light wash down procedures 

and goes up to an IP69k protected 

scale constructed to withstand high pressure 

cleaning. 

Several construction types simplify and 

accelerate the regular cleaning procedure. 

Ultra low profile floor scales 

(PUA5../PUA6../PUA7..)* 

Low profile floor scales are built to safely 

and quickly move loads on and off the 

platform. This floor scale line combines 

robust construction, easy-to-clean surfaces, 

and an exceptionally low profile 

with short ramps. Two construction types 

are available: one stand alone fixed model 

and a lift version. On the lift version, a 

pair of built-in gas springs enables one 

person to lift the scale manually with 

minimal effort for cleaning the ground 

underneath the scale. 

Work horses – basic floor scales 

Floor scales from METTLER TOLEDO are 

used in dusty and humid areas. All types 

can be placed on the floor, mounted on adjustable 

feet or installed into prepared pit

a multi interval weighing range with 

three different resolutions in one scale. 

These work horses can be used for many 

applications when combined with a 

broad range of accessories. 

Highest accuracy on the floor 

(K line)* 

The K line stands for highest accuracy 

with a maximum precision up to 

6000e/7500e (single range). Built to 

stand on the floor or in a pit, their capacity 

starts from 300 kg x 2 g up to 3000 kg 

x 50 g. These provide a broad weighing 

range for maximum flexibility. 

Easy to lift (PFA5../-7../-8..lift)* 

Liftable floor scales can be installed on 

top of a floor or in a pit and combine 

stainless steel construction with complete 

access for cleaning. METTLER TOLEDO 

offers two types: manual or automatic

only the top plate lifts exposing the inside 

of the scale and pit, whereas the automatic 

version is equipped with pneumatic 

cylinders that lift the entire scale. 

At the flip of a switch, the automatic version 

tilts up 45°. For safety reasons this 

version can be locked to prevent unauthorized 

personnel from operating the 

system. Both types can be handled by a 

single person, safely and easily.

Vehicle Scales 


Serving the Palm Oil Industry 

Top Quality Vehicle Scales for Tropical Climate 

The tropical climate of Southeast Asia is humid and thunderstorms are common. Electronic 

components are prone to failure when left out in the elements due to moisture and frequent 

lightning. However, truck scales using the POWERCELL PDX ® load cell network have 

proven to be reliable in any environment, including Malaysia. Customers like palm oil producer 

Sime Darby are using this reliability to their advantage. 

Oil palm trees were first planted commercially 

in Malaysia in 1917 by William Sime 

and Henry Darby, founders of Sime Darby. 

Today, about 45% of the world’s palm oil is 

produced in Malaysia with Sime Darby being 

the largest palm oil producer in the 

world, producing over 2.4 million tons annually. 

Sime Darby Plantation operations 

include 42 oil mills in Malaysia and another 

23 mills in Indonesia. In total, the company 

manages over 530,000 hectares (1.3 

million acres) planted with oil palm trees. 

Oil palm trees require a tropical climate 

and are typically found within 20º of the 

equator. The oil palm fruit is made up of 

an oily, fleshy outer layer and a single seed 

kernel. Roughly 22% of the fruit can be 

extracted as oil, producing significantly 

higher yields than other seed oils. The 

palm fruit is reddish and is typically 3–5 cm 

in length. It grows in large bunches referred 

to as fresh fruit bunches or FFB. 

Palm oil is reasonably priced and is high 

in natural antioxidants. It is a very com-

mon cooking ingredient throughout 

Southeast Asia and the tropical belt of 

Africa. In recent years, its use in commercial 

food processing applications has 

been growing around the world. There is 

also growing demand for palm oil in biodiesel 

as a source of renewable fuel. 

Producing palm oil 

Harvesting the FFB is a delicate process 

that requires highly skilled workers. The 

FFB grows high in the trees and weighs 

30–50 kg (65–110 lb) when ripe. They 

are cut with a blade on a long pole and 

fall as much as 20 m (60 feet) to the 

ground. It is critical to begin the milling 

process the same day the FFB is cut from 

the tree to preserve the quality of the oil. 

Free fatty acids begin to form in the FFB 

once it is cut. The acids, which degrade 

the quality of the oil, continue to rise 

within the FFB until it undergoes the 

steam sterilization process at the mill. 

Mills receive the FFB, extract the oil from 

the pulp of the fruit, and collect the ker-

nels from the fruit center. The extracted 

oil is then sent to a refinery where the oil 

is further processed into edible oil. Sime 

Darby Plantation’s East Oil Mill on Carey 

Island is one of the company’s larger 

mills, producing 400 tons of oil per day. 

The mill has been steadily growing since 

it was opened in 1983. The mill currently 

has 109 employees working 3 shifts. They 

are continuously improving and automating 

their processes. 

The POWERCELL ® Advantage 

Vehicle weighing is an essential part of 

the mill process. Fruit bunches are 

brought to the mill on trucks or tractorpulled 

wagons from all around the region. 

The loads are weighed for payment 

and inventory control. Once the oil is 

milled, it is put into large tankers that 

are weighed as they leave the facility on 

their way to the refinery. 

In 2008, the East Oil Mill purchased a new 

truck scale to keep up with the growth of 

the business. The new scale is longer so

that it can handle the larger tankers that 

are needed to ship the crude palm oil to 

the refinery. The scale is powered by 

POWERCELL load cells and an IND310 

terminal from METTLER TOLEDO. 

Lightning protection 

In Malaysia’s tropical climate, a large 

percentage of the annual rainfall comes 

from thunderstorms. Lightning is a common 

threat and a major cause of downtime 

for nearly all truck scales in the region. 

However, METTLER TOLEDO 

POWERCELL load cells come with the 

StrikeShield Lightning Protection System. 

StrikeShield technology protects the 

entire scale system, including load cells, 

cables and terminal.

– Scale overload-shock 

– Number of cycles 

– Symmetry and drift 

The Manager of the East Oil Mill, 

Bakhtiar Effendy Bin Kamaludin, has 

been very pleased with the new scale. The 

accuracy of the scale system has been excellent 

and they have not experienced 

any lightning damage or downtime with 

the new scale. Uptime is critical to the 

mill, especially since the FFB needs to be 

processed shortly after it is cut. They 

cannot afford to shut down their process 

because of a problem with a truck scale. 

Teras Integrasi, a large METTLER 

TOLEDO distributor in Malaysia, has 

been providing Sime Darby with MET- 

TLER TOLEDO solutions and excellent 

service for many years. In addition to 

selling the new scale, Teras Integrasi 

provided weight management software to 

the mill. They also provide preventive 

maintenance and calibration services to 

ensure the scales are operating properly. 

Quality products and excellent service 

from Teras Integrasi and METTLER

Checkweighing 


Easy-to-use, Compact Solution 

Ensures The Highest Quality 

Farmer’s Snack GmbH places great emphasis on maintaining the high 

quality of its products. The Hamburg-based company has been relying 

on METTLER TOLEDO inspection solutions for many years to meet its 

quality standards. 

The XE3 CC CombiChecker supports the 

stringent requirements of Farmer’s Snack 

in assuring highest quality not only 

checking product weight, but also inspecting 

all products in the same step to 

ensure that there are no traces of metal 

present. As such, even the smallest differences 

and deviations in the natural produce 

can be verified using the checkweigher, 

enabling the company to guarantee 

consistently high quality for its end 

customers. 

The XE3 CC CombiChecker 

checks every pack to make sure 

it has the correct weight and is 

free of any metal traces 

“During the dry fruit filling process, 

products can get stuck in the multi-head 

weigher,” explains Hardy Krause, Technical 

Director at Farmer’s Snack. “These 

products can then cause packs to be under 

or overfilled,” he continues. The 

CombiChecker rejects from the production 

line any packs that do not conform 

to the specified weight, thereby constantly 

checking the filling process of the 

multi-head weigher. 

Metal detection systems also ensure quality on 

other production lines at Farmer’s Snack. 

With the combined checkweigher/metal 

detector system, Garvens offers Farmer’s 

Snack a compact solution for checking 

product weight and reliably detecting any 

foreign bodies in a single procedure, and 

enables the company to comply with all 

quality assurance criteria as per FDA or 

IFS. The CombiChecker also provides 

comprehensive reports and, thanks to its 

large product setup memory, central inventory 

management for all products. 

This allows Farmer’s Snack to quickly 

switch between the items it produces. 

The XE3 CC CombiChecker 

provides a clearly structured 

evaluation of key production data 

“We used to take random samples of our 

products for testing,” explains Hardy 

Krause. “But the CombiChecker inspects 

every single pack. This not only guarantees 

the correct product weight, it also 

saves us a great deal of time and makes 

our whole production process smoother.” 

Due to the extremely high accuracy of 

both the checkweigher and metal detector, 

the XE3 CC CombiChecker is optimally 

suited to the company’s diverse 

product range. The Garvens Combi- 

Checker categorizes the weighed products, 

i.e. fruit mixes, precisely into up to 

three weight zones. Its metal detector is 

available with two detection frequencies 

– ideal for companies like Farmer’s 

Snack which process an extensive product 

range.

Garvens XE3 CC CombiChecker protects consumers and 

brand reputation.

Demands of Tougher Standards 

Met By Due Diligence Enhancements 

If a metal-contaminated product reaches the consumer, the repercussions could 

be catastrophic. By using a metal detector with Due Diligence Enhancement, 

manufacturers can be confident that their products meet required quality standards 

and their brand is protected. 

The Due Diligence Enhancement from 

METTLER TOLEDO Safeline helps manufacturers 

comply with increasingly tough 

standards, by strengthening control and 

security at critical control points (CCP) 

on processing and packing lines. 

Failsafe functionality 

Multiple design features ensure the due 

diligence enhancement delivers an increased 

level of failsafe functionality, resulting 

in increased product safety as 

well as compliance with standards and 

legislation. Manufacturers also benefit 

through avoiding the risk of costly recalls 

and potential damage to their reputation. 

The key focus is ensuring that contaminated 

packages are properly removed. 

This is achieved through a fully automated 

rejection system, with a reject confirmation 

sensor to ensure that the correct 

pack is removed, and a secondary reject 

check sensor further along the conveyor 

belt that provides additional security. 

Guarding against procedural error 

It is widely held that a common cause of 

contaminated products reaching the 

consumer is procedural error rather than 

the failure of an inspection device. The 

enhanced system features a tunnel guard 

on the out-feed conveyor to prevent external 

interference, and a lockable reject 

bin, only accessible via the detector’s 

password-protected interface. These features 

reduce the risk of rejected packs reentering 

the production process. 

The Profile metal detection system records 

all detector and operator activity, providing 

evidence that all necessary control 

measures have been taken. It also features 

Condition Monitoring technology to provide 

advance warning of adverse trends, 

which helps to minimize downtime. 

The combination of quality detector and 

control equipment, sensing devices and 

failsafe mechanisms results in a system 

optimized to meet compliance needs and 

maximize the opportunity to prove due 

diligence.

Quality Control 


Excellence in Milling Combined 

With Cutting-Edge Weighing Technology 

Swissmill in Zurich is Switzerland’s biggest flour and semolina producer. Several 

mills operate in Zurich: two mills for grinding soft wheat; one each for durum wheat, 

corn, and oats; and a specialty mill. Swissmill is IFS and BRC certified and serves a 

wide range of customers, from small village bakeries, bread factories and retailers 

to food processing operations. 

The total annual output of soft wheat, 

durum wheat, corn, and oats is 200 000 

tons. On high-speed packaging lines – 

for packages up to 5 kg – around 15 million 

items are bagged and controlled 

yearly. During packaging, Swissmill 

must verify net content as well as rule out 

metal contamination to comply with average 

weight legislation and to ensure 

consumers safety. 

Product inspection 

With METTLER TOLEDO product inspection 

systems, both net content and metal 

contamination are controlled and faulty 

packages are rejected. Swissmill has integrated 

four Garvens checkweighers and 

Safeline metal detectors in its packaging 

lines. The detectors can weigh up to 800 

items per minute and are designed to 

meet HACCP guidelines. With a stainless

hygienic compliance is made easy. 

The combined metal detector and checkweigher 

unites the advantages of both inline 

weight monitoring and metal detection 

in a compact system. 

Net content control 

To comply with average weight legislation, 

Swissmill has successfully implemented 

SQC14 – a compact Statistical 

Quality Control system from METTLER 

TOLEDO. Net content is statistically reported 

and the results are graphically 

represented on printouts. Trend analysis 

software triggers alarms to alert the operators 

when filling machines are tending 

to under- or overfill. Unnecessary 

overfilling can be avoided and net content 

control is simplified.

Laboratory 

Consistently high quality is crucial for 

Swissmill. In the laboratory, raw materials, 

semi-finished and finished products 

are regularly quality tested. METTLER 

TOLEDO analytical instruments such as 

the SevenEasy pH-meter or the DL50 

titrator, as well as halogen moisture analyzers 

such as HB43 or XP precision balances 

ensure that quality parameters are 

systematically checked and optimized. 

Mr. Eigenmann, Production Manager, 

concludes: “Swissmill is continuously updating 

production processes and systems, 

ensuring the market will be supplied with 

innovative, competitive, high-quality 

products also in the future. With the support,
