Metal detection systems for food production
Two detection platforms, over a hundred shapes and sizes. The 607 is our low-frequency detector at 30 kHz; the 608 is the high-frequency detector at 300 kHz. Every machine is configured to the application rather than picked from a shelf.

Achievable sensitivity depends on aperture or pipe size, product, packaging and temperature. We quote figures once we have run your product.
With or without conveyorTunnel Detectors
End-of-line inspection of packed and unpacked product. Supplied as a detector head for your own line, or as a complete unit with conveyor and reject.

1.5" to 10", with reject systemPipeline Detectors
For pumped and semi-solid product. Installed between filler and clipper, or directly after the stuffer. 0.5 mm FE basic sensitivity.

Ø60 to Ø320Free Fall Detectors
For free-falling powders, granules and bulk. Hygienic reject valve with no critical edges, so the product flow does not clog.

Standalone or combined with a detectorCheckweighers
Dynamic weight control on its own, or as a combination system with metal detection in one frame and one control system.

Lifts product between levelsIncline Block Conveyors
Cleated incline conveyor with metal detection built into the same frame — feeding a grinder, mixer or packing line without a second handling step.

Over 100 shapes and sizesCustom Solutions
We design and build in house. If the application does not fit a standard machine, we draw one that does.

| The product… | System | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|
| sits on a belt | Tunnel detector, with or without conveyor | Trays, bags, cartons, whole cuts, bread, ready meals |
| is pumped through a pipe | Pipeline detector | Sausage emulsion, minced meat, dairy, sauces, wet pet food |
| falls freely | Free fall detector | Flour, sugar, spices, granules, dried fruit, powders |
| also needs weight control | Checkweigher or combination system | Packed goods where weight and contamination are checked together |
| needs to get from A to B first | Conveyors and convergers | Transfer, alignment, single-lane feeding from a thermoformer |
| has to be lifted to another level | Incline block conveyor | Frozen blocks, mince and bulk product feeding a grinder, mixer or hopper |
| does not fit any of the above | Custom solutions | Non-standard dimensions, temperatures, layouts or integrations |
How hard is the line cleaned?
Two plants making completely different products often need the same machine, because they are cleaned the same way. If the line is hosed down daily with hot water at pressure, specify WET DETECT — our sealed range for washdown environments. If production is dry or chilled and cleaning is light, the standard systems above are the right and more economical answer.
