- Typical throughput
- Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; units of this class commonly handle hundreds to thousands of items per hour.
- Power supply
- Units are typically single-phase (1Ph) or three-phase (3Ph), with common voltages being 230V or 400V, 50Hz for the UK market.
- Construction material
- Typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.
- Detection sensitivity
- Dependent on aperture size and product effect, but modern units can detect very small metal particles.
- Footprint
- For this class of equipment, the footprint is largely determined by the belt length and width, plus control panel and frame.
- Operating environment
- Designed for use in typical food production settings, often with an IP rating suitable for washdown.
