Frequently Asked Questions

• What does 'Ferrous-in-Foil' mean?

  This refers to the detector's ability to specifically identify ferrous (magnetic) metals, such as iron or steel, even when the product is packaged in aluminium foil or metallised film, which would typically interfere with standard metal detectors.

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

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What kind of maintenance does a metal detector head require?

• Does this unit come with a conveyor system?
