Safeline Metal detector

• Detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards prior to dispatch.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Used in bakeries, confectioneries, meat processing, and ready meal production lines.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; for this class of equipment, it can range from 30 to over 100 products per minute.

Power supply

Commonly 230V single-phase, 50Hz, with a typical power consumption of 0.5-1.5 kW.

Aperture size

The listed unit has a 200mm x 70mm aperture. Other Safeline units typically offer a range of aperture sizes to suit various product dimensions.

Reject mechanism

This unit features a pneumatic push reject with alarm. Other common reject mechanisms include air blast, diverter arm, or stop-on-detect.

Construction materials

Typically constructed from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for food contact areas and washdown compatibility.

Footprint

For a conveyorised unit of this type, the footprint can vary, but typically requires approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width, including the reject mechanism.

Operating environment

Designed for use in typical food production environments, often with an IP65 or higher rating 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 sensitivity for each type can vary based on the specific unit and product.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or dry products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used metal detector?

• Can the sensitivity settings be adjusted?

• What spare parts are commonly needed for these units?

• Does this unit require compressed air?

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.
