Metal Detector in Food
Metal detectors in food production use electromagnetic detection to identify metallic contaminants in a product stream.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Detector aperture, contaminant type and product conductivity affect sensitivity. Conveyors, pipelines and gravity-feed systems present different integration needs.
Detection capability should be evaluated in the actual product and packaging. A signal without verified rejection does not complete the inspection task.
What turns activity into demand
Detection and physical removal must both work at the operating line speed. Separate detectors from conveyors, rejection systems and broader food quality programmes.
The commercial boundary
Separate detectors from conveyors, rejection systems and broader food quality programmes.
