CINTEX TWIN HEAD METAL DETECTOR

• Used for detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products, ensuring product safety and compliance.
• Applied in pharmaceutical production lines to identify metal particles in tablets, capsules, and powders.
• Integrated into plastics and recycling processes to remove metal fragments from raw materials or finished goods.
• Utilised in textile manufacturing for detecting broken needles or other metallic foreign objects in fabrics.
• Employed in confectionery and snack food production to safeguard against metal contamination in high-volume lines.

Detection capability

Typically capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. This unit is specified with standard and ferrous in foil heads.

Aperture size

For this unit, the aperture is specified as 350mm (width) x 100mm (height), suitable for a range of product sizes.

Throughput

Commonly designed for continuous operation at typical production line speeds, varying by product size and line integration.

Power supply

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

Reject mechanism

This unit features a divert arm reject into a lockable bin, a common method for removing contaminated products from the line.

Operational direction

This specific unit is configured for left-to-right product flow, which is important for line integration planning.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, especially in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Environmental rating

Commonly rated to IP65 or higher for washdown capabilities, suitable for demanding production environments.

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

  A twin head configuration often allows for enhanced sensitivity or the ability to detect different types of metals more effectively, particularly useful in complex product matrices or foil packaging.

• Can this metal detector be integrated into an existing production line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Is this unit suitable for products packaged in foil?

• What does 'refurbished' condition mean for this equipment?

• What are the typical lead times for a refurbished 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.
