Sartorius Metal Detector (R)

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Inspecting pharmaceuticals for foreign object detection.
• Quality control in plastics and recycling industries to protect machinery.
• Ensuring product safety in confectionery and bakery lines.
• Final inspection point for non-food items like textiles or electronics.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 20 to 100 products per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, typically 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Detection sensitivity

Sensitivity for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants is typically high, often down to sub-millimetre levels, depending on product effect.

Operating environment

These systems are commonly designed for industrial environments, often with an IP65 rating for washdown suitability in food processing.

Footprint

Overall length for a conveyorised unit with a pusher reject system is typically between 1.5m and 2.5m, with varying widths.

Reject mechanism

Units of this type commonly feature an automatic reject system, such as a pusher, air blast, or diverter arm, to remove contaminated products.

• What types of metals can this detector identify?

  Sartorius metal detectors are typically capable of identifying ferrous (iron), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and non-magnetic stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or dry products?

Food processing metal detectors are generally regarded as reliable workhorses for contamination prevention. Buyers typically value robust construction and consistent performance in demanding environments. When purchasing used units, inspectors recommend verifying calibration records, checking sensor condition, and confirming compatibility with existing production lines. Common strengths include straightforward maintenance, durable components, and effective detection across various product types. Reputation hinges on proper installation and regular servicing to maintain effectiveness.
