METTLER TOLEDO to showcase food inspection systems at IPPE 2026
METTLER TOLEDO Product Inspection Group will showcase a broad portfolio of food inspection technologies at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), taking place Jan. 27–29 in Atlanta. The company will exhibit x-ray, metal detection, checkweighing, and vision inspection systems designed for meat, poultry, and animal feed processing operations.
According to METTLER TOLEDO, protein applications present demanding operating conditions that require inspection equipment capable of delivering reliable results in washdown-intensive and high-risk environments. The systems on display are engineered to support food safety programs, improve product quality, and help processors maintain consistent performance across production lines.
Among the technologies featured is the X36 Series DXD+ x-ray inspection system, which is designed to detect a range of physical contaminants, including bone, glass, metal, and stone, while also performing product integrity checks.
METTLER TOLEDO will also display the C33 PlusLine washdown checkweigher, which combines precise weighing with a rugged design suited for harsh cleaning conditions. The system and its human-machine interface are rated IP69 and built to withstand caustic detergents and high-pressure washdown commonly used in meat and poultry plants.
Metal detection solutions on display include the Profile Advantage system with an integrated conveyor designed specifically for protein processing, featuring stainless-steel construction and tool-less components to support efficient sanitation. A pipeline metal detector for liquids, slurries, and purees will also be exhibited.
In addition, METTLER TOLEDO will present its V31 vision inspection system, which verifies packaging graphics, reads one-dimensional and two-dimensional codes, and inspects alphanumeric characters to identify labeling defects and inconsistencies before products enter distribution.
All inspection systems in the exhibit will be connected to the company’s ProdX data management software, which enables remote monitoring and centralized data collection to support food safety documentation, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
