Goring Kerr - Gorring Kerr

• Ensuring product safety and integrity in food processing lines by detecting metallic contaminants.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing to prevent metal foreign objects in tablets or capsules.
• Inspection of packaged goods in FMCG industries to meet regulatory standards and protect brand reputation.
• Detecting metal inclusions in plastics, textiles, and other non-food industrial products.

Detection capability

Typically capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants.

Aperture size

This specific unit has an 80mm high x 240mm wide aperture. For this class of equipment, various aperture sizes are common to suit different product dimensions.

Reject system

This unit features an alarm belt stop reject system. Other common systems include air blast, pushers, or diverters.

Construction material

Often constructed with painted mild steel for general industrial use, or stainless steel for washdown environments.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard single-phase industrial power, typically 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Throughput

Throughput rates vary significantly based on product size and line speed, but units of this type are designed for continuous operation on production lines.

Environmental rating

Typically designed for dry or general industrial environments; specific IP ratings should be confirmed with the seller.

• What types of metal can this detector find?

  Goring Kerr metal detectors are generally designed to detect ferrous (iron-based), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and often stainless steel contaminants. The sensitivity for each type can vary.

• How accurate are used metal detectors?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Is this metal detector suitable for food products?

Metal detectors for food processing remain reliable workhorses in quality control operations. Buyers typically value their durability and consistent contamination detection capability. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history and sensitivity settings proves essential. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward maintenance records and minimal downtime. Common strengths include robust construction, straightforward operation, and cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment. Prospective buyers should verify functional testing documentation and assess integration compatibility with existing production lines.
