What types of metal can this detector identify?

This class of metal detector is typically designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants within food products.

Is this equipment suitable for wet or washdown environments?

Units constructed from stainless steel are generally designed to withstand washdown procedures, making them suitable for many food processing environments. Buyers should confirm the specific IP rating with the seller.

How does the reject system work?

The reject system commonly uses an alarm and a belt-stop mechanism. When metal is detected, the belt stops, allowing for manual removal of the contaminated product or integration with an automated reject device.

What certifications are relevant for this type of equipment?

For food processing, relevant certifications typically include BRC compliance and FDA approval, indicating adherence to food safety and quality standards.

Can this detector be integrated into an existing production line?

Yes, units of this type are designed for integration into existing production lines. The variable-speed drive and standard working height facilitate this process. Specific integration requirements should be discussed with the seller.
