The M30 R-Series of metal detection systems from Mettler Toledo deliver smart, digital inspection at a reasonable price, the company says. Combined with advanced algorithms, smart SENSE software makes it possible for entry-level models to deliver high sensitivity to all metal contaminant types with minimal false rejects, it adds. Dynamic Stability Control innovations stabilize the core sensor of the metal detector and help protect against interference for increased reliability. The metal detector and conveyor also can be easily upgraded as compliance or production requirements change, which helps manufacturers achieve a lower overall cost of ownership and extend the useful life of their equipment.

The CEIA THS/MS21, a multi-spectrum technology metal detector from Heat and Control, is available with optional USDA-certified construction. This USDA-approved design eliminates areas that could harbor bacteria, comes standard with IP66/IP69k construction for protection against high pressure and caustic washdown, and includes a foot design that addresses washdown/build-up concerns, the company says. Compliant with stringent hygiene/sanitation guidelines for the design/fabrication of food equipment, the THS/MS21 delivers the highest sensitivity to all magnetic and non-magnetic metals, including stainless steel.

The Raptor by Fortress Technology is a highly accurate, fully integrated checkweighing system, specifically designed for high-care food production environments. The Raptor is employed to verify the weight of each product and reject non-conforming packs. The system has been designed, engineered and constructed to meet stringent care/food-grade engineering standards and it’s capable of processing packaged products up to 8 kg, the company says.

Xtreme Metal Detectors from Eriez offer an easy-to-use 7-inch touchscreen interface, multiple pre-programmed languages, easy setup and reporting, remote access and a standard high-pressure washdown design. The standard Xtreme Metal Detector Conveyor Systems are available with a plethora of options, including air-blast or pusher-arm reject devices, lockboxes, reject confirmation, stainless steel motor/reducers, upgraded guarding and emergency stop systems, the company says. Additionally, the detectors are designed with a focus on sensitivity, convenience and productivity.

Advanced Detection Systems’ ProScan Max III metal detection systems are made in the USA and are ideal for ice cream, inclusions and other pipe-fed viscous dairy products. The company offers a free upfront product testing service that leads to a trouble-free startup at any facility, it says. Product testing allows the company to build a metal detector for optimum performance and reliability in specific products and guarantee ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless-steel detection levels.
