Metal detectors for food
You know what the problem is ...
Foreign objects in a finished product can have devastating effects on future deliveries. In order to maintain its market position and reach new customers, it takes a well-functioning quality system.
We can help you solve the problem!
Detectors for products on the conveyor belt
Genius GLS
Tailored detection coils provide maximum sensitivity for bulk and bitmaterial with low altitude (eg biscuits), it is possible to use a flat metal detector.
Detector Genius GLS with a telescopic conveyor for investigation of bakery products.
Tunnel Metal Detector GENIUS GLS is designed specifically for the food industry.
Almost fully automatic setting for the product, ensuring optimal sensitivity and high reliability.
Standard for the inspection of outgoing goods
For labeling, marking, weighing or palletizing it examines bulk and packaged bulk materials, in most cases on conveyor belts and polluted goods are automatically removed.
The preferred method is to examine the packaged product immediately before delivery to the customer as it is no more production steps in which the metal particles can get into the product.
GENIUS GLS installed on an inclined conveyor and a horizontal conveyor after a bag forming, filling and sealing machine.
Advantages of a complete system:
Easy installation, no need for costly modifications to the production system.
High reliability:
Conveyor separation systems designed for the use of the metal detector.
Designed in accordance with FDA requirements:
The hygienic and functional design facilitates the use and maintenance.
Packaged products are inspected and approved prior to delivery.
Genius is available in several sizes.
Detectors for products in free fall
Here products are controlled in free fall.
Undesirable metal particles is automatically separated off completely, without interrupting the flow.
Separation with free-fall is the most effective method for separating metal impurities from bulk materials.
The installation of the metal separator before filling, packing or further processing, has the advantage that the bulk material is examined in the minimum volume and high detection accuracy can thus be achieved.
If the bulk material is filled in metal coated foil packs, metal separation should of course be carried out before the packaging process in order to avoid a decrease of the sensitivity.
Thanks to the low height of separators for free-fall, the simple integration of transport tubes with standard couplings and the control unit GENIUS, which can be placed at a distance of up to 100 meters, the separators for freefall can be installed even in places that are hard to reach.
Depending on the product separators for free fall in series RAPID 5000, RAPID 6000 or MFE can be used.

Anti-ferrous metals - magnetic separators for bulk materials
For further separation of ferrous metals from bulk materials, we offer a wide range of magnetic separators. These separators are designed for the demanding requirements of the food industry. High magnetic strength (Neodymium-or AlNiCo version), temperature stability (up to 350 ° C) and corrosion protection are standard.
Easy integration into production systems (eg pipes, free fall sections or materials funnel) and easy cleaning are obvious. Magnetic System MAGBOX EASYCLEAN with extendable magnetic cores for easy cleaning.
The food sector mainly use the following types:
Filters with bar magnets
Grids Magnets
Stir magnets
cascade Magnets
Examples of ejectors, separators
Metal detector with separation arm. It removes the products that the detector has not approved. Separation by simple pivot.
Automatic separation provides the highest security.
If metal contamination is detected, the detection coil will with high timing accuracy enable a removal system without disturbing the production process. The ineffective manual separation belongs to the past.
Below you can see an example of separation nozzles.
Examples of product and production-oriented solutions:
Adapted for eg product size and weight, or the transport speed.
Practical accessories:
Eg lockable containers for separated (metal contaminated and polluted) products, level or discard monitoring
Effective complete systems. The most reliable solution
Complete systems are the most efficient solution. Metal GENIUS GLS, conveyor and separation systems are optimally matched to each other and as a homogeneous unit guarantees the highest sensitivity and reliability.
