Safeline - 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 potential damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Used in production lines for confectionery, bakery, dairy, meat, and ready meal sectors.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size, speed of conveyor, and sensitivity settings; commonly processes hundreds to thousands of items per minute.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on single-phase or three-phase electrical supplies, with this unit specified as single-phase.

Detection sensitivity

Commonly detects metal particles down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on the type of metal and product characteristics.

Reject mechanism

This unit features an air blast reject system, a common method for removing contaminated products from the line.

Aperture dimensions

The stated aperture of 350 x 155mm (13.7 x 6.1”) dictates the maximum product size that can pass through.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Environmental rating

Often designed to IP65 or higher for washdown capabilities, suitable for most food production areas.
