Sanitary metal detector

The latest metal detector for the food processing and packaging industry from JL Lennard is the Apex 500, claimed to be the most sensitive, yet easy-to-operate metal detector available.

The multi-coil design improves signal levels, resulting in high levels of detection. This is combined with shielding techniques that improve sensitivity on wet or conductive products and cut waste caused by false rejects.

Only food-grade materials are employed in the detector’s construction, including a stainless steel IP66-rated panel case and an ABS control panel that won’t dent or distort, resulting in water leaks and electronics failure.

Up to 20% smaller diameter metal can be detected than with previous models; icon-driven user interface has concepts employed in mobile phones and PCs; intuitive software; two operating frequencies and high/low gain electronics for application flexibility. Auto calibration is selectable; sanitary blue epoxy aperture lining.

The detector is available in a range of standard aperture sizes from 50-1250 mm wide and 50-600 mm high. Product speed through the aperture can range from 0.5-1000 m/min. The instrument is ISO 9001 certified.
