Metal detectors

Dynamic Inspection has introduced a high-sensitivity metal detector for non-conductive products that is able to detect down to 1.5 mm ferrous and 2.0 mm stainless in a 350 mm high aperture. The system is suitable for dry applications such as powders, rice grains, etc. Smaller apertures detect smaller contaminants.

Dynamic Inspection has also designed and developed a pad-type metal detector. This style of metal detector scans from the base up and is suitable for detecting metal contaminants in liquids while ignoring metal caps, foil lids, etc. Good sensitivity is achieved even on fast production lines.

The metal detector can be integrated into a conveying system to suit bottling lines. This integration includes a rejection system to reject single contaminated bottles without interrupting production at high speed.

Another development is the design of a system that can mate up to existing lines negating the need to cut into these lines. The system transfers the bottles from the existing line, inspects them and then returns them to the line. This makes for economical installation costs.
