Sartorius Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Inspecting bulk materials for unwanted metal fragments prior to further processing.
• Ensuring product integrity and consumer safety in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by metal foreign objects.
• Quality control in non-food industries such as textiles or plastics.

Typical throughput

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

Power supply

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

Aperture dimensions

The model number suggests an aperture width of approximately 210mm and height of 35.6mm, suitable for smaller packaged goods or bulk flow.

Detection sensitivity

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

Construction material

Commonly features stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing environments.

Reject mechanism

Units of this type are often integrated with automatic reject systems such as air blast, pusher, or drop flap mechanisms.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Sartorius metal detectors are typically designed to identify ferrous (magnetic), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and non-magnetic stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What kind of products can be inspected with this aperture size?

• Does it come with a reject system?

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

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.
