Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product type and line speed; units of this class commonly handle several hundred items per minute.

Power supply

Typically 230V, single-phase, 50Hz, common for industrial equipment in the UK.

Detection sensitivity

For this type of equipment, sensitivity is typically high for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, dependent on aperture size and product effect.

Construction material

Commonly stainless steel for food contact areas and robust industrial environments.

Operating environment

Designed for typical food processing environments, often with an IP rating suitable for washdown.

Reject mechanism

Units of this type often feature 'stop on detect' as described, or automatic reject systems like air blast or pushers.

Control interface

Typically features a user-friendly control panel, often with a touchscreen, for setting parameters and monitoring.
