Metal Detector Conveyor

Introduction

A Metal Detector Conveyor integrates a high-sensitivity metal detection head with a conveyor system—ideal for inline inspection of packaged or loose products. These systems identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, ensuring product safety, compliance (HACCP, GMP, FDA), and preventing damage to downstream equipment.

Specifications

• Detection Aperture: Customizable widths (300–1,500 mm) and heights (100–600 mm)
• Conveyor Belt Speed: Typically ~30 m/min; variable-speed VFD options available
• Sensitivity (Metal):
  • Ferrous: 0.5–1.2 mm
  • Non-ferrous: 1.0–1.6 mm
  • Stainless: 1.5–2.5 mm
• Construction: Food-grade SS304/SS316 housing (IP54–IP69K)
• Detectable Metals: Ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless steel
• Reject Mechanisms: Belt stop, air jet, pusher, drop flap with high-speed reject valve options
• Controls: Touch-screen or digital panel; storage for up to 100 product presets; auto learn and compensation features
• Power: 110–230 V AC, 50/60 Hz; integrated power stabilizer

Ideal Applications & Industries

• Food & Beverage: Baked goods, meat, dairy, frozen products, snacks, spices
