Sartorius Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Inspecting bulk materials for unwanted metal fragments prior to further processing.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical production lines to ensure product safety.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp metal.
• Identifying metal in non-food items such as textiles or plastics.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; for this class of equipment, it commonly handles hundreds to thousands of items per minute.

Power supply

Typically 230V, 50Hz, single-phase, though three-phase options are also common for larger systems.

Aperture size

The model number suggests an aperture width around 210mm and height around 35.6mm, suitable for smaller packaged goods or bulk flow. Buyers should verify exact dimensions with the seller.

Detection sensitivity

Commonly capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on product effect and aperture.

Construction material

Typically stainless steel for food and pharmaceutical applications, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Reject mechanism

Units of this type commonly integrate with various reject systems such as air blast, pushers, or retracting conveyors.

Environmental rating

Often rated to IP65 or higher for washdown environments, particularly in food processing.

• 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 kind of product effect compensation does it have?

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

• What maintenance is typically required for a unit like this?

• Does this unit come with a reject system?

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.
