Throat and SuperThroat models of Safeline metal detectors are designed for installation in vertical bagging and filling applications in the food industry. Mettler-Toledo Safeline's patented "zero free metal zone" technology and custom support frames significantly reduce the space required between scales and baggers/fillers.

This metal detector is typically used with fluid and paste-like products, and is appropriate for the food industry to ensure food safety. Boasting a sturdy stainless steel sensor and control unit housing, maintenance-free design and high quality construction, users benefit from reliable metal detector operation in even the most challenging industrial environments.

Designed for the flour, grain, bulk material and free-flowing product industries, the METAL SHARK GF (gravity free-fall) metal detector promises maximum detection of magnetic and nonmagnetic contaminants. Generally integrated into a free-flowing product pipeline and enclosed in a 100% stainless steel housing, Cassel metal detectors help food processors and others to meet HACCP, IFS, BRC and GMP safety standards. The powered reject system, framing and controls are available in sanitary design for food-grade process applications.

This system is suitable for a continuous separation of tramp iron and midsized ferrous contamination from various dry bulk materials. A adjust-able 180° magnetic section inside the rotating drum shell attracts the ferrous contaminants and rotates them out of the material flow. After leaving the terminated magnetic field all separated particles fall off the system. Non-ferrous materials pass the drum separator unaffected.

Metal detector for installation in pipeline systems, e.g. for free-fall applications, pneumatic conveyor lines, material columns that are slowly moving down, or pump feed lines. The metal detector is used for the inspection of bulk materials, fibres, or liquid/pasty products.

The Rapicon offers six standard aperture sizes with two levels of metal detector technology (GLS or C-Scan GHF) for optimum flexibility to provide solutions that deliver the best performance and results.

If you’re simply meeting your HACCP foreign material spec, you may be missing many potential cost-saving opportunities. Learn how greater detection levels can reduce your false reject rates as well as minimize or possibly eliminate your need to rework products.

Watch this short demo and discover what you might be missing with only one to two frequencies in multi-frequency metal detection.

In this podcast, Rob Tiernay, Director of Sales at Anritsu, discusses with Food Online Voices how food manufacturers can strike a balance between improving profit margins while ensuring product safety. Additionally, Tiernay explores some of the needs, both in the long and short term, which food manufacturers should account for when deciding if a metal detection or X-Ray inspection solution is right for their company. Further, Tiernay elaborates on the advancements that product inspection solutions have made in detecting low-density contaminants in food products. Finally, Tiernay discusses setting up new manufacturing lines and the best possible point of foreign body detection based on food product type.

In this podcast, Rob Rogers, Senior Advisor of Food Safety and Regulation with Mettler-Toledo, discusses with Food Online Voices some recent, high-profile examples of foreign bodies causing food recalls. Further, Rogers mentions the most common types of foreign body contaminants causing food recalls and what food manufacturers can do to prevent them from entering the market. Additionally, Rogers addresses the long-term benefits food manufacturers, processors, and packagers will see from implementing foreign body detection systems and offers advice to companies seeking metal detection and X-Ray inspection systems. Finally, Rogers mentions FSMA, how it is impacting the food manufacturing industry, and how it is helping innovate the foreign body detection systems market.
