What types of metal can this detector identify?

Signature metal detectors are designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants within the product flow.

Is this unit suitable for wet or dry products?

The suitability depends on the specific product effect and the detector's settings. Many units are versatile, but optimisation may be required for high-moisture products.

What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, belt inspection, and periodic calibration checks to ensure consistent performance. The seller notes a new belt has been fitted.

How is a 'Stop on detect' system integrated into a production line?

A 'Stop on detect' system typically requires an operator to remove the contaminated product before the line can restart. This is suitable for lines where manual intervention is feasible.

Can the aperture size be adjusted?

The aperture size is fixed for a given unit. Buyers should verify the exact usable aperture to ensure it accommodates their largest product dimensions.
