Its metal detectors MINEBEA INTEC and X-ray inspection systems are used on production and packaging lines to detect and reject products containing metal or other foreign objects from the line.

Their ability to detect foreign bodies in products and reliably reject them from the production or packaging line promotes compliance with industry standards such as HACCP, IFS and BRC, protects product and company image and avoids costly product recalls.

Metal Detectors

We offer a broad portfolio of metal detector products.

To choose the right metal detector, several conditions must be taken into account.

  • For example, will the metal detector be exposed to frequent and intensive cleaning procedures? If so, then it makes sense to choose a correspondingly high IP protection class.
  • Are there flammable substances in the environment? If the answer is yes, the metal detector should have ATEX certification, i.e. explosion protection category.

After considering the environmental conditions in which your metal detector will be used, consider the product sizes and determine the correct coil accordingly.

The smaller the ratio of product size to coil, the greater the sensitivity. A ratio of about 70 percent is considered ideal.

In the final step, the nature of your product plays a decisive role.

METAL DETECTOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL – Heavy Duty Metal Detectors

Metal Detector Secus®

The Secus metal detector provides highly efficient and effective protection for your machinery.

It prevents the penetration of metallic foreign bodies into your production process and thus minimizes downtime due to repairs.

In addition, your employees are reliably protected from injuries caused by fragments of metal parts.

Designed specifically for heavy industry, Secus is particularly convincing due to its extremely robust design and detection sensitivity, which has been optimized specifically for the raw materials industry.

Foreign Particle Detectors (X-ray)

Detecting foreign objects or monitoring fill levels – X-ray inspection systems are suitable for many applications in industry.

The use of X-ray inspection systems in the food industry has increased significantly in recent years.

The systems have proven to be a good investment in product safety, integrity and quality.

Their ability to detect foreign objects in products and reliably reject them from the production or packaging line promotes compliance with industry standards such as HACCP, IFS and BRC, protects product image and helps avoid costly product recalls.

X-ray inspection systems don't just detect products contaminated with metal, glass, rubber, stones, plastic parts or bone fragments.

They also enable built-in quality controls, including weight determination, component counting, missing or defective product detection, fill level monitoring, and cap integrity checking.

CONTROL SYSTEMS X-RAY TOPSHOOTER – Efficient Inspection of Flat Individual Packages

Topshooter vertical beam top or bottom X-ray inspection systems are the most common system in X-ray food inspection.

X-ray inspection systems are typically located at the end of the packaging line and inspect flat individual packages.

Since the shallower product depth of flat packages allows for better detection sensitivity, vertical inspection is most suitable here.

Typically, the X-ray inspection system at this point in the packaging line has its own conveyor belt and integrated rejection system.

 

 

 

CONTROL SYSTEMS X-RAY SIDESHOOTER – The Best Choice for Taller Products

Horizontal beam Sideshooter X-ray inspection systems are used for packaged products whose height exceeds their width.

Here too, the prerequisite is to guide the product with its flattest side through the X-ray beam.

A Sideshooter X-ray inspection system features an X-ray generator that scans the product parallel to the surface and along the direction of travel of the conveyor belt.

The advantage of these systems is that an existing conveyor belt can be reused, as it is not visible in the X-ray inspection area. There is no need for additional transfer points between the conveyor belt and the drive system. This also simplifies installation and integration into an existing packaging line.
