Safeline - Metal Detector

• Ensuring product safety and quality in food processing lines by detecting metallic contaminants.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp metal in various industrial applications.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing to identify foreign metallic objects in products.
• Inspection of packaged goods in logistics and distribution centres prior to shipment.

Aperture dimensions

This unit features an aperture of approximately 350mm (width) x 155mm (height). Buyers should verify this is suitable for their product dimensions.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, detection sensitivity typically ranges from 0.5mm ferrous to 2.0mm non-ferrous, depending on product effect and specific settings.

Power supply

This unit operates on a single-phase electrical supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Reject mechanism

The unit is equipped with an air blast reject system, suitable for diverting contaminated products from the main flow.

Throughput

Throughput for metal detectors of this size is highly dependent on product characteristics and line speed, but typically accommodates standard conveyor speeds for packaged goods.

Construction material

Units of this type commonly feature stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.

• What types of metals can this detector identify?

  Safeline metal detectors are generally capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. The specific sensitivity will depend on the product and calibration.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Can the sensitivity be adjusted for different products?

• What is the typical lifespan of 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.
