Elektron Metal Detector 2020

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from metal damage.
• Quality control in confectionery, bakery, dairy, and meat processing lines.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; commonly processes hundreds to thousands of items per hour.

Aperture size

For this class of equipment, aperture dimensions typically range from 150mm to 600mm wide and 100mm to 400mm high.

Power supply

Commonly operates on a single-phase 230V AC supply, with some larger units requiring three-phase.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Reject mechanism

Commonly features air blast, pusher, or stop-on-detection reject systems.

Detection sensitivity

Varies by model and aperture size; typically capable of detecting metal spheres down to 0.5mm in diameter.

Footprint

A compact unit of this type typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Metal detectors of this type are designed to identify ferrous (iron-based), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• How is the sensitivity calibrated?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Can this metal detector be integrated into an existing production line?

Metal detectors for food processing remain reliable workhorses in quality control operations. Buyers typically value their durability and consistent contamination detection capability. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history and sensitivity settings proves essential. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward maintenance records and minimal downtime. Common strengths include robust construction, straightforward operation, and cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment. Prospective buyers should verify functional testing documentation and assess integration compatibility with existing production lines.
