Metal detectors
Metal detectors allow us to effectively detect foreign bodies of metallic origin in products on production lines in food processing. These quality control devices installed on conveyors and integrated with automation systems remove unwanted inclusions. By having integrated systems for rejecting such foreign bodies they have a very similar role and general scheme of operation as the X-ray systems we also implement. The main difference lies in the limited scope of detection capabilities, which may be, in the light of the specificity of production or applicable standards and directives, the appropriate criterion for selecting the optimal device.
Metal detectors are available as tunnel heads that can be easily coordinated by PLC drivers with other automation systems, in order to remove unwanted metal inclusions, and as integrated systems with rejection mechanisms adapted to various forms of products carried on the line, be it a singular product in a package or not, or bulk goods evenly distributed on the conveyor belt.
Similarly to the X-ray inspection systems we offer, the detection systems and software of the metal detectors we implement allow the device to automatically learn the parameters of the correct product and recognize foreign bodies. It offers the possibility of saving up to 100 types of such programmes, which significantly reduces the burden on the production line operators and accelerates line tuning and introducing new products.
