Goring Kerr DSP2 Metal detector

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from metal damage.
• Quality control for confectionery, bakery, and ready-meal production lines.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; for this class of equipment, it commonly handles hundreds to thousands of items per minute.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

The frame is typically stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments in food processing.

Detection sensitivity

Highly dependent on aperture size and product effect; Goring Kerr DSP2 models are known for good sensitivity across various metal types.

Reject mechanism

This unit features a pneumatic blow reject system, commonly used for lightweight or small products.

Control interface

Typically features a digital signal processing (DSP) control panel for parameter adjustment and data logging.

Footprint

The overall footprint will be larger than the belt dimensions due to the control panel and reject system; buyers should confirm exact dimensions with the seller.
