Safeline Metal detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Identifying metal foreign bodies in plastics and recycling streams.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by metal debris.

Aperture size

This unit features a 200mm (width) x 70mm (height) aperture, suitable for smaller packaged items or individual components.

Conveyor belt length

The 1700mm belt length commonly allows for integration into existing production lines and sufficient space for rejection mechanisms.

Reject mechanism

A pneumatic push reject system with an alarm is specified, typically providing efficient removal of contaminated products from the line.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, detection sensitivity is typically high, capable of identifying ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, often 230V or 400V.

Construction material

Metal detectors for food and pharmaceutical applications typically feature stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Safeline metal detectors are generally designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and non-magnetic stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Can the conveyor speed be adjusted?

• What is involved in installing 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.
