Sartorius Metal Detector (R)

• Used for detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products, ensuring product safety and compliance.
• Often integrated into confectionery lines to inspect sweets, chocolates, and baked goods for foreign objects.
• Applied in pharmaceutical manufacturing for quality control of tablets, capsules, and powders.
• Utilised in plastics and recycling industries to protect machinery from metal damage and improve material purity.
• Employed in textile production to identify metal fragments in raw materials or finished goods.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly but commonly handles several hundred items per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, commonly 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

Aperture dimensions

The aperture size, indicated by the model BMK 210X35,6, suggests a typical opening for product passage. Buyers should confirm exact dimensions with the seller.

Rejection system

This unit includes a 'Pusher FRS 2010' rejection system, which is a common method for automatically removing contaminated products from the production line.

Construction material

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

Detection sensitivity

Sensitivity levels vary, but modern units are designed to detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants down to very small particle sizes.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Sartorius metal detectors are typically designed to identify ferrous (magnetic), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and non-magnetic stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or dry products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Can this metal detector be integrated into an existing production line?

• What is the purpose of the 'Pusher FRS 2010'?

Food processing metal detectors are generally regarded as reliable workhorses for contamination prevention. Buyers typically value robust construction and consistent performance in demanding environments. When purchasing used units, inspectors recommend verifying calibration records, checking sensor condition, and confirming compatibility with existing production lines. Common strengths include straightforward maintenance, durable components, and effective detection across various product types. Reputation hinges on proper installation and regular servicing to maintain effectiveness.
