Metal Detection Applications for Your Production Line

Metal detectors for food are mostly employed to safeguard consumers. Food products contaminated with metal is possible even with the greatest care. People could be seriously injured when metal particles are added into the product during the process of manufacturing. Producers could face severe consequences, such as costly recalls as well as compensation claims. A negative image of the brand and the loss of trust among customers due to unclean food could cause more and lasting harm.

Food metal detectors offer protection against ferrous and non-ferrous metals (aluminium or stainless steel) efficiently. They can be utilized at every stage of food production and can be utilized for a variety of purposes for example. They are able to examine meat, bakery products sausage fruit vegetables, dairy products, and spices, and sugar.

Metal detectors aren't just employed to protect consumers but also to safeguard machines. Even the tiniest metal particles could cause machines to break down. The results are usually costly repairs and downtimes which lead to production problems that are often followed by a drop in revenue.

Most metal detectors use tri-coils that are balanced. system for detecting tiny particles of non-ferrous as well as stainless steel. Each coil is wound in parallel on a nonmetallic frame. The center coil is connected with an ultra-high frequency radio transmitter. The receiver coils are situated on either side. Because these two coils are identical and are located at in the same location from the transmitter, they both receive the same signal and produce the same output voltage. If the coils are connected against each other and the output is canceled and results in a zero value

All metals are either ferrous, nonferrous, or stainless steel. Their magnetic permeability as well the electrical conductivity will determine their ability to detect. Table 1 shows the types of metal and their sensitivity to detection. The size, shape , and orientation (with relation to the detector coils) of the metal particle are also important. Because size, shape, and the orientation of metal contaminants are impossible to control so it is recommended to operate a metal detector with the maximum level of sensitivity.
