Description

Conventional metal detectors struggle with metallised film and aluminium foil, because the packaging itself produces a strong signal (the "product effect"). The Foodman ferrous-in-foil metal detector solves this by isolating the signal generated by contaminants from that of the packaging, so it can inspect dense, foil-wrapped products with high sensitivity.

It is intended for food and beverage, pharmaceutical and consumer-goods packs wrapped in metallised film or foil, for example coffee, candy, chocolate and cocoa powder.

Technology

  • High-sensitivity sensor with signal filtering that distinguishes packaging from metal contaminants.
  • A magnetic-reflection detection method for fast detection.
  • Automatic calibration and adjustable sensitivity per product and packaging type to reduce false rejects.

Operation and maintenance

Intuitive touch-screen or button control for operation and calibration; software can be upgraded. Robust SUS304 construction, audible and visual alarm, and a choice of reject devices.

Note: this detector is designed for ferrous and stainless steel contaminants inside foil; for non-ferrous contaminants in foil packs, X-ray inspection is recommended.
