- Detection sensitivity
- Typically configurable to detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity depending on aperture size and product effect.
- Aperture size
- Commonly ranges from 150mm to 400mm in width and 100mm to 250mm in height, suitable for various product dimensions.
- Conveyor speed
- Units of this type typically operate at speeds between 10 to 60 metres per minute, depending on integration and product characteristics.
- Power supply
- Most units require a standard industrial power supply, commonly 230V, single-phase, 50Hz.
- Construction material
- Typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and durability in food and pharmaceutical environments.
- Environmental protection
- Often rated to IP65 or higher, indicating protection against dust and water jets, suitable for washdown environments.
- Rejection system
- Commonly integrated with automatic rejection systems such as air blast, pushers, or retracting conveyors for contaminated products.
