food packaging metal detector General introduce

Metal is a contaminant that is most often found in food processing plants. Metal can enter food processing at any stage. 

It is most commonly used to build machinery, handle equipment, and ancillary tools. A metal detector can be used in the food industry to help protect food products. It can detect metal contaminants that are present in food packaging, and helps ensure they don't get into food. Metal detection systems are part of HACCP programs and can be used to comply with food safety standards (GFSI/BRC/IFS), retailers' code, legislation, and industry guidelines.

Food metal detectors can detect three types of metallic contaminants.

Ferrous

Non-Ferrous

Stainless Steel detection relies on the magnetic or conductive characteristics of the contaminant

A conventional metal detector that is used in the food industry can detect metallic contaminants only if they are conductive and magnetic permeable.

Ferrous metal contaminants, which are magnetic and conductive, are easy to detect

Non-Ferrous contaminants can be easily detected, even though they are not magnetic.

Stainless Steel foreign bodies can be the most difficult to find because they are often non-magnetic. They are also poor electrical conductors. You may also have difficulty detecting stainless steel products that are wet or contain high amounts of salt.

An X-ray inspection for food 

can be enhanced if there are additional types of contaminants such as glass, calcified bone and ceramics.

Rejection of our metal detector have:

Push rod

Air blast

Flap drop

Automatic stop belt

Food Industries can use metal detectors in a variety of ways.

We have experience in the following industries:

Bakery or baked goods

Yogurt, Dairy, and Milk

Fruits and vegetables

Ready Meals

Fish and Seafood

Sushi
