Sesotho - Sesotec Varicon Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products to ensure consumer safety and product integrity.
• Inspecting bulk materials such as grains, powders, or plastics for unwanted metal inclusions.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical production lines to identify metallic foreign objects in tablets or capsules.
• Protecting downstream processing machinery from damage caused by tramp metal in the product stream.

Detection sensitivity

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

Aperture size

Commonly available in various aperture dimensions to accommodate different product sizes and conveyor widths.

Throughput

Designed for continuous operation, with throughput rates typically matching standard production line speeds.

Power supply

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

Construction material

Often features stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Rejection system

Typically integrates with various rejection mechanisms such as air blast, pushers, or retracting conveyors, depending on the application.

Control interface

Commonly includes a user-friendly touchscreen interface for setup, monitoring, and data logging.
