Minebea Intec Metal Detector and Conveyor

• Used for detecting metallic contaminants in packaged or unpackaged food products.
• Applied in pharmaceutical production lines to ensure product safety and compliance.
• Integrated into plastics and recycling processes to protect downstream machinery from metal damage.
• Utilised in textile manufacturing for quality control and equipment protection.
• Essential in chemical processing to prevent contamination and maintain product purity.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 20 to 60 metres per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

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

Detection sensitivity

Minebea Intec metal detectors are known for high sensitivity, typically detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on the product effect.

Construction material

The frame and conveyor components are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food and pharmaceutical environments.

Operating environment

Typically designed for indoor use, often with an IP65 rating for washdown capability in food processing settings.

Reject mechanism compatibility

Units are commonly compatible with various reject mechanisms such as air blast, pushers, or retracting conveyors, which would typically be specified separately.
