Multivac 1310 Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products prior to sealing.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance in confectionery and snack food lines.
• Quality control for pharmaceuticals and non-food items to prevent metal foreign bodies.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal inclusions.

Typical aperture size

Commonly ranges from 200mm to 400mm width, and 100mm to 250mm height, depending on the specific product being inspected.

Power supply

Typically operates on a standard industrial single-phase supply, such as 230V, 50Hz.

Conveyor speed

For this class of equipment, conveyor speeds are commonly adjustable, often up to 30-60 metres per minute.

Detection sensitivity

Units of this type are designed to detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity typically measured in millimetres (e.g., 0.8mm ferrous, 1.2mm non-ferrous, 1.5mm stainless steel).

Construction material

The frame and housing are typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for food processing environments.

Rejection system

Commonly integrated with an automatic rejection system, such as an air blast, pusher, or retracting belt, to remove contaminated products.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Multivac metal detectors like the 1310 GLS are typically designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and non-magnetic stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• Can this metal detector be integrated into an existing production line?

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

• Does this unit come with calibration certificates?

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.
