Minebea Intec presents leading technology for industrial weighing and inspection at ProPak Africa 2025

Minebea Intec, a global leading manufacturer of industrial weighing and inspection technologies, will be exhibiting at ProPak Africa 2025 in collaboration with respected South African partner Precision Control Pty Ltd. ProPak is one of Africa's leading exhibitions and conferences for the packaging, processing, printing, and plastics industries. From 11 to 14 March, visitors to the Johannesburg Expo Centre can explore Minebea Intec's comprehensive product portfolio, featuring solutions for checkweighing, foreign body detection, static and process weighing, as well as truck weighing. A highlight of the stand will be live demonstration units showcasing the functionality and performance of Minebea Intec’s high-precision technologies. Minebea Intec looks forward to welcoming visitors to Stand D11 in Hall 6.

The packaging industry in Africa is on the rise, driven by population growth, the expansion of the retail sector and the demand for sustainable packaging solutions. At the same time, companies are faced with challenges such as meeting international quality standards, optimizing production processes and implementing food safety technologies. Minebea Intec offers a comprehensive portfolio of weighing and inspection technologies that meet the requirements of both local manufacturers and international corporations.
Minebea Intec will be presenting a selection of its most advanced technologies at Propak Africa, developed specifically for the packaging industry.

High-Precision Metal Detection with Mitus^® and Vistus^®

For the detection and rejection of metal contaminated products, Minebea Intec offers high-precision metal detectors. Manufacturers who opt for metal detection benefit in many ways. First and foremost is the assurance of product quality and consumer protection. Contaminated products can lead to expensive recalls and brand damage. Additionally, the efficient operation of metal detection systems ensures minimal downtime and smooth production processes, enhancing overall productivity and cost-effectiveness. Minebea Intec offers two metal detection systems for the industry, Vistus^®and Mitus^®. The premium solution Mitus^® has an even higher detection sensitivity than Vistus^®. But whether you choose the Mitus^® or Vistus^® metal detector: Both solutions can be integrated one-to-one with our conveyor, free-fall or pipeline systems.

Compact Precision Meets Innovation: Discover CoSynus®

Checkweighers are used in the packaging industry to ensure that products meet the specified weight and thus comply with legal and operational standards. The CoSynus^®checkweigher combines the functions of a checkweigher and a metal detector in a single compact device. This innovative solution ensures precise weight control and simultaneous metal detection, thus increasing the efficiency of production lines. It is particularly suitable for manufacturers who have limited space but do not want to compromise on quality.

A special highlight of the CoSynus^®is the new Blue HMI (Human Machine Interface), an innovative development for checkweighers. Designed for intuitive touchscreen operation, it offers unparalleled ease of use, enhancing convenience and efficiency. With clearly structured menus, users can adjust weight checks, analyze production data, and generate reports in just a few steps—directly on the device. This innovation ensures seamless integration into production lines, minimizes set-up times, and boosts efficiency in the packaging industry. Trade fair visitors can explore its advantages through a video presentation, showcasing how this solution is shaping the future of checkweighers.

Advanced X-Ray Inspection with Dylight and Dymond S

X-ray inspection systems not only detect products contaminated with metal, but also with glass, rubber, stones, plastic parts or bone fragments. They can also perform in-line quality checks such as weight determination, component counting, detection of missing or defective products, fill level checks and closure integrity checks. Minebea Intec offers a wide range of X-ray systems for the inspection of packaged products. Typical applications include cartons, boxes, bags, trays and portion packs containing a variety of dry or liquid food products.

The compact and powerful X-ray inspection system Dylight, which will be shown at the fair, offers an efficient solution for detecting foreign bodies in packaging. Its compact design makes it ideal for smaller production environments, while maintaining the high quality and reliability of Minebea Intec products.

The Dymond S X-ray inspection system provides maximum safety through multi-sided radioscopy, ensuring reliable foreign object detection in high, upright-standing packaging. With its hygienic design, high-speed image processing, and seamless integration into automated production lines, it guarantees efficient and precise quality control in industrial applications.
