Boekels - Boekels EMD7025 Metal detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged or unpackaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards and regulations.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Used in bakeries, confectioneries, meat processing, dairy, and snack food production lines.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product type, size, and line speed; units of this class are designed for continuous operation.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase, 400V, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK, though specific requirements should be verified.

Detection sensitivity

Typically adjustable, with sensitivity levels dependent on aperture size, product effect, and metal type.

Construction material

Units for food processing are predominantly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Reject mechanism

Often features an automated reject system, such as an air blast, pusher, or stop-on-detection with alarm, as indicated for this unit.

Aperture dimensions

The aperture size dictates the maximum product dimensions that can pass through the detector.

Environmental rating

Typically designed to an IP rating suitable for washdown environments in food processing facilities.
