Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size, speed, and sensitivity settings; commonly designed for continuous inline operation.

Power supply

Typically 230V, single-phase, 50Hz, common for industrial food processing equipment in the UK.

Construction material

Commonly stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Detection sensitivity

Typically adjustable to detect metal contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on product effect and aperture dimensions.

Environmental rating

Often rated to IP65 or higher, suitable for washdown procedures in food processing facilities.

Rejection mechanism

Units of this type commonly integrate with various rejection systems such as air blast, pushers, or retracting conveyors.
