There are several types of metal detectors commonly used in the food industry, each with its own strengths and applications. Here’s a breakdown:
1.Conveyor Belt Metal Detectors
How it works: Integrated into conveyor belts to detect metal contaminants as they move along the belt.
Advantages: Easy to install and maintain, and can be customized to fit different production line configurations.
Applications: Widely used in various food processing applications, including meat, poultry, and seafood processing.
2.Beverage Liquid Metal Detector
Beverage liquid metal detectors are specifically designed to detect and reject metal contaminants in liquid beverages. These contaminants can include metal fragments, shards, or small pieces of equipment that may accidentally find their way into the beverage during production, processing, or packaging.
3.Tablet Capsule Metal Detector
Tablet Capsule Metal Detectors are suitable for detecting and removing magnetic and non-magnetic metal foreign bodies in tablets and capsules. Small metal chips embedded in the product can also be removed quickly online. During operation, the metal detector can detect perfectly (100%), thus reducing material loss and not affecting normal production.
The choice of metal detector depends on factors such as the type of product being processed, the size and type of metal contaminants to be detected, and the specific requirements of the production line.
