What is 'Ferrous-in-Foil' detection?

Ferrous-in-Foil detection is a specialised metal detection technology that can identify ferrous (magnetic) metals even when products are packaged in aluminium foil or metallised film, which typically makes standard metal detection difficult.

Can this unit detect non-ferrous metals or stainless steel?

Units designed specifically for 'Ferrous-in-Foil' detection are optimised for ferrous metals. Their sensitivity to non-ferrous metals or stainless steel in foil packaging may be limited compared to dedicated multi-frequency detectors for non-foil applications.

Is this a complete system or just the head?

This listing is for the metal detector head only. A complete system typically requires a conveyor, control panel, and rejection mechanism, which may need to be sourced separately or integrated with existing line components.

What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector head?

Routine maintenance commonly involves regular cleaning, calibration checks, and occasional inspection of cables and connections. Specific schedules depend on usage and environmental conditions.

How do I know if this aperture size is suitable for my products?

Measure the maximum dimensions of your packaged products, including any variations. Ensure there is sufficient clearance (typically 25-50mm) between the product and the aperture walls for optimal detection performance.
