Goring Kerr - Metal Detector

• Ensuring product safety and integrity in food processing lines by detecting metallic contaminants.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing to identify foreign metal objects in tablets or capsules.
• Inspection of packaged goods in FMCG industries to prevent contaminated products reaching consumers.
• Protection of downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp metal in bulk materials handling.
• Detection of metal in textiles, plastics, and recycling streams to maintain product purity and protect equipment.

Detection sensitivity

Typically capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity varying based on aperture size and product effect.

Throughput speed

For this class of equipment, throughput speeds commonly range from 10 to 60 metres per minute, depending on the conveyor system and product size.

Aperture size

Commonly available with aperture dimensions suitable for a wide range of product sizes, from small packaged goods to larger bulk items. Buyers should verify the exact aperture for this unit.

Power supply

Typically operates on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, commonly 230V or 400V, 50Hz, with specific requirements to be confirmed with the seller.

Construction material

Units of this type commonly feature stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Rejection system

This unit features a 'stop on detect' system. Other Goring Kerr models may offer air blast, push arm, or flap gate rejection systems.

Environmental rating

Typically designed for industrial environments, with common ingress protection (IP) ratings suitable for washdown or dusty conditions.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Goring Kerr metal detectors are generally designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. The specific detection capabilities will depend on the unit's configuration and the product being inspected.

• How accurate are metal detectors of this age?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used metal detector?

• Is spare parts availability an issue for older Goring Kerr models?

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.
