Safeline - Metal Detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards prior to dispatch.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Quality control in bakeries, confectioneries, meat processing, and ready meal production.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically designed for high-speed production lines, often handling hundreds of items per minute depending on product size.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 230V, single-phase or 400V, three-phase electrical supply, with specific amperage varying by model.

Aperture size

The internal opening (aperture) dimensions typically range from 150mm to 500mm in width and 100mm to 300mm in height, dictating the maximum product size.

Conveyor belt width

Conveyor belt widths commonly range from 200mm to 600mm, suitable for various product sizes and line configurations.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability in washdown environments.

Reject mechanism

This unit includes a reject roller option, commonly used for automatically removing contaminated products from the production line.

Detection sensitivity

Sensitivity for this class of equipment is typically adjustable, capable of detecting very small metal particles (e.g., 0.5mm ferrous, 1.0mm non-ferrous, 1.5mm stainless steel).
