Safeline Twin head metal detector

• Detecting metal contaminants in packaged food products on two separate lanes.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards.
• Minimising product recall risks due to metal contamination.
• Used in production lines for confectionery, baked goods, snacks, and ready meals.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product size and belt speed, often ranging from 30 to over 100 packs per minute per lane.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Detection sensitivity

Modern metal detectors offer high sensitivity, capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. Specific sensitivity will depend on the head configuration and product effect.

Reject mechanism

Pneumatic blow reject systems are commonly found on units of this type, suitable for lightweight or small packaged products.

Construction material

Equipment for food processing, including metal detectors, is typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Operating environment

Designed for use in typical food production environments, often with an IP rating suitable for washdown.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Safeline metal detectors are designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. The 'ferrous in foil' head configuration indicates suitability for products packaged in metallised film or foil, where it primarily detects ferrous metals.

• How does the twin head configuration benefit production?

• What does 'pneumatic blow reject' mean?

• Is this unit suitable for wet environments?

• Can the aperture size be adjusted?

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.
