Cintex Ltd - Cintex Sentry Twin-Head Metal Detector (500 x 150 aperture)

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products, particularly those with foil packaging.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance in bakery and frozen food production lines.
• Preventing product recalls and protecting brand reputation by identifying foreign objects.
• Integrating into existing conveyor systems for automated inspection of goods.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 20 to 60 metres per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase 230V AC supply.

Detection sensitivity

Typically offers high sensitivity for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with specialised heads for foil-packaged products.

Aperture size

The aperture size for twin-head systems varies, accommodating a range of product dimensions, from small packs to larger trays or boxes.

Reject system

Commonly features a 'stop-on-detect' belt system with an alarm, requiring manual removal or further automated rejection.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

• What is the benefit of a twin-head metal detector?

  A twin-head system, especially with a Ferrous-in-Foil head, allows for effective metal detection in products that contain foil, which can interfere with standard metal detectors. This expands the range of products that can be inspected.

• Can this unit detect all types of metal?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Is this suitable for wet environments?

• How does the 'stop-on-detect' reject system work?

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.
