Mettler Toledo Safeline Metal Detector

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards prior to dispatch.
• Integrating into existing conveyor lines for automated inspection of goods.
• Used in bakeries, confectioneries, meat processing, and ready-meal production lines.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from potential damage caused by metal foreign bodies.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; commonly capable of inspecting hundreds of items per minute.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, commonly 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

Construction material

Units of this type commonly feature stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Detection sensitivity

Modern metal detectors are typically capable of detecting very small metal particles, often down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on the metal type and product effect.

Operating environment

Designed for use in typical food processing environments, often with an IP65 or higher rating for washdown.

Control interface

Commonly features a touchscreen HMI for easy operation, product setup, and data logging.
