Metal Detectors have proved to be one of the most reliable equipment used in the food processing and manufacturing industries for metal detection. Besides, the metal detection also reduces the machine downtime and improves the working of the machines by eliminating the harmful metal components. The main function that the metal detector performs is detecting metal contaminants in food items, pharmaceutical and other products. There can be many reasons of metal contamination including contaminated raw material, inappropriate installation, and lack of machine maintenance. The types of metals that they can detect are:

  • Ferrous metal such as Iron
  • Non-Ferrous metal such as copper and lead
  • Stainless Steel

Components Of Metal Detectors

  • Search Head –The products pass through an aperture to be scanned for contamination.
  • Control Panel –It is the place where all the adjustments regarding the product’s sensitivity is done. Salty and moist products being conductive can create a disturbance in the magnetic field of the metal detectors further triggering the reject mechanism; sensitivity is adjusted for such types of food.
  • Transport System- This is used to move the products through the detection system. It is basically a conveyor belt used to move materials from one end to the other. A non-metallic tube is used to convey liquid and powdered products through the aperture.
  • Reject Mechanism- The Metal Detectors utilize different styles of reject system such as air blasts, drop chute and push arms. It is used to reject the contaminated product from the production lines, marking devices and belt stop mechanism.

Features Of Metal Detectors

  • Metal Detectors are used for the detection and rejection of nonferrous, ferrous and stainless steel metal components.
  • Metal Detectors can be used to maintain the quality standards and produce the products in compliance with the regulations. With the increasing consciousness of consumers, it has become a challenge to produce products that meet their requirements.
  • Most Metal Detectors are simple to use without requiring any special training. Therefore, they can be easily used by anyone.
  • Metal Detectors are easy to handle and maintain. Therefore, once you have purchased them, they will serve you for longer time requiring only timely maintenance.
