Multivac - 1310 Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products prior to dispatch.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance in pharmaceutical manufacturing lines.
• Quality control for non-food items such as textiles or plastics to prevent machinery damage.
• Inspection of bulk materials for tramp metal before processing.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput rates are typically high, suitable for integration into automated packaging lines.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, typically 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Detection sensitivity

Modern metal detectors typically offer high sensitivity to ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, adjustable based on product characteristics.

Construction material

The frame and contact parts are commonly constructed from stainless steel, suitable for hygienic environments.

Belt speed

Belt speeds are typically variable to match upstream and downstream equipment, commonly ranging from 10 to 60 metres per minute.

Environmental rating

Units are commonly rated to IP65 or higher, indicating suitability for washdown environments.

• What types of metals can this detector identify?

  Metal detectors of this type are designed to identify ferrous metals (e.g., iron), non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminium, copper), and various grades of stainless steel. Sensitivity levels can be adjusted.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• Can the detector be integrated into an existing production line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• How does the detector handle contaminated products?

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.
