Abstract
A combined weighing/metal-detection system comprises at least one support frame and at least two weighing cells arranged at mounting locations on the at least one support frame. A conveyor device rests on the weighing cells. The system further includes a metal detector with a passage opening, wherein the conveyor device passes through the opening. The at least two weighing cells are arranged, respectively, on opposite sides of the metal detector, preferably close to the upstream and downstream ends of the conveyor device. The metal detector is supported on the at least one support frame at mounting locations different from the mounting locations of the weighing cells, so that the weighing cells are not carrying the pre-load of the metal detector and the two functions of weighing and of detecting metallic contaminants can occur on the same at least one conveyor device close together in time.
