- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput is typically dictated by the conveyor speed and product size, commonly handling hundreds to thousands of items per hour.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, typically 230V or 400V, 50Hz.
- Footprint
- A metal detector with a 450mm x 250mm aperture, when integrated with a conveyor, typically requires an overall length of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m, depending on the conveyor configuration.
- Detection sensitivity
- Modern metal detectors like the Ceia THS21ET/3F are designed for high sensitivity, capable of detecting very small ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants.
- Certifications
- Equipment in this category is typically designed to meet BRC, HACCP, and various retail compliance standards.
- Operating environment
- These units are commonly designed for industrial environments, often with IP ratings suitable for washdown procedures in food processing.
