Multivac - 1310 Metal Detector

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from potential damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Used in production lines for confectionery, baked goods, ready meals, and other packaged foods.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size, speed, and sensitivity settings; commonly designed for continuous inline operation.

Power supply

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

Construction material

Commonly stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Detection sensitivity

Typically adjustable to detect metal contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on product effect and aperture dimensions.

Environmental rating

Often rated to IP65 or higher, suitable for washdown procedures in food processing facilities.

Rejection mechanism

Units of this type commonly integrate with various rejection systems such as air blast, pushers, or retracting conveyors.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  This class of metal detector is typically designed to identify ferrous (magnetic), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or dry products?

• How often does a metal detector require calibration?

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

• What maintenance is typically required for a used metal detector?

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.
