Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has announced a significant update to its C31 StandardLine Checkweigher, introducing a suite of Smart Production Packages aimed at helping food manufacturers improve operational flexibility, accelerate implementation, and meet stringent compliance requirements—all at a price point designed to appeal to small and mid-sized producers.
Long established as a dependable solution for precision weighing and food safety, the C31 Checkweigher has been reengineered to reflect the shifting demands of contemporary manufacturing. Among the notable improvements is the introduction of a two-belt conveyor system as a standard feature, a more modular design for greater scalability, and streamlined order processing intended to reduce delivery times.
These enhancements reinforce the C31’s role as a future-ready system, combining Mettler-Toledo’s hallmark accuracy with smarter connectivity and adaptability. With these updates, the system offers manufacturers a scalable, reliable tool to address both current production needs and future growth.
“Today’s food manufacturers need equipment that not only meets compliance demands but also adapts to their business as it grows,” said Joern Migge, Head of Market Management and Service at Mettler-Toledo. “With the new Smart Production Packages, compact footprint, and faster delivery times, the upgraded C31 intelligent checkweigher offers a compelling combination of performance and affordability.”
Designed with modern production lines in mind, the C31’s Intelligent Weighing Automation system eliminates the need for manual spot checks, delivering 100 percent inline weight control across a variety of applications. The compact footprint and modular construction allow for seamless integration into both dry and wet environments, providing an accessible, scalable solution for manufacturers with evolving needs. The standard lead time for the upgraded system is just over three weeks, excluding packing and shipping.
To further support customization and operational efficiency, Mettler-Toledo is launching five Smart Production Packages. These offer targeted functionality and cost efficiencies by bundling frequently used features into tailored modules that can be upgraded over time.
The Reporting Package, for example, helps manufacturers maintain compliance with net weight regulations by automating data collection and providing easy access to production statistics. The Sorting Package enables consistent rejection of underfilled products with a choice of mechanisms such as Air Blast or Pusher Sorting, while also offering monitoring tools that help minimize production errors.
For companies looking to future-proof operations, the Connectivity Package provides integration with SCADA and ERP systems, enhancing digital traceability and data analysis. The Integration Package facilitates quicker identification and resolution of recurring production faults, and the Cost Control Package helps manufacturers optimize fill levels, reduce waste, and support broader sustainability goals.
Each package is modular and optional, allowing companies to tailor their setup to specific needs and expand functionality as operations grow. This approach ensures that manufacturers can achieve efficiency gains, reduce overhead, and make faster, data-driven decisions—without overextending their investment.
Whether a facility’s priority is minimizing product giveaway, eliminating compliance risks, or preparing for deeper digital integration, Mettler-Toledo’s upgraded C31 StandardLine Checkweigher offers a versatile platform built for the evolving demands of the food manufacturing landscape.
