Product Description
Snacks Food Metal Detector
Mettler-Toledo Safeline T and ST Series metal detectors are designed for installation in vertical packaging applications. These detectors are able to detect metal contamination within product in-flight, typically as it passes from a weigher into a bag maker or packaging machine.
T and ST Series detectors are particularly suitable where metallised film packaging materials are used in vertical form, fill and seal bagging operations. Inspection of the product takes place immediately before it enters the bag, overcoming any limitations created by the wrapping material - and ensuring the highest levels of sensitivity are achieved.
The use of ultra-high-frequency operation and multi-frequency technology, combined with new software algorithms, enables the signals given off by all metallic contamination to be identified and amplified to aid detection and removal. T and ST throat detectors are capable of detecting metal particles smaller than 0.5 mm in diameter for all metal types, including ferrous, non-ferrous (including aluminium) and non-magnetic stainless steels.
Maximum Detection Sensitivity: The use of ultra-high frequency operation and multi frequency technology combined with new software algorithms enables the signals given off by all metallic contamination to be identified and amplified to aid detection and removal. T Series detectors are able to identify all metal contaminants in food products including non-magnetic stainless steel which can be difficult to detect.
Long Term Detection Stability for Maximum Uptime: Installed as standard to all T and ST Series throat metal detectors is Safeline's renowned Auto-Balance Control and Enhanced Noise and Vibration Immunity systems. These features deliver long term in-process performance and stability reducing the risk of false rejects, minimising product waste and increasing operational efficiency.

FAQs of Snacks Food Metal Detector:
Q: How does the balanced coil technology enhance metal detection in snacks processing?
A: Balanced coil technology significantly improves the metal detectors sensitivity, enabling it to identify even minute metal particles in snacks and similar food products. This precision enhances food safety and minimizes the risk of contaminated products reaching consumers.
Q: What are the benefits of the digital LCD display and touch panel control system?
A: The digital LCD display and touch panel provide clear visual feedback and easy navigation for parameter adjustments. Operators can quickly set belt speed, select preset products, and monitor real-time status, streamlining operations and reducing the risk of user error.
Q: When should the automatic reject system be used, and how does it work?
A: The automatic reject system should be used whenever the metal detector identifies a contaminant. Based on your setup, the systempusher, air blast, or flapimmediately removes the tainted item, ensuring only compliant products proceed down the line, thus preventing cross-contamination.
Q: Where is this metal detector ideally applied within the food industry?
A: This metal detector is specially designed for environments such as snack, bakery, confectionery, and frozen food processing plants. It supports applications where stringent hygiene and product integrity are critical, aligning with HACCP, ISO, and CE compliance.
Q: What process adaptations does the variable, adjustable belt speed offer?
A: Variable belt speed enables customization according to product type and production volume, allowing seamless integration and optimal throughput. Adjusting the speed ensures sensitive detection without impacting the efficiency of your processing line.
Q: How can storing multiple product presets benefit production?
A: The memory function supports multiple product preset storage, permitting rapid switching between different snacks or food items. This reduces downtime, eliminates manual recalibration, and enhances production efficiency, particularly for facilities processing a variety of products.
Q: What are the main advantages of the IP65 ingress protection rating for this equipment?
A: An IP65 rating ensures that the metal detector is protected against low-pressure water jets and dust, making it suitable for washdown zones. This level of protection supports consistent hygiene practices essential in food manufacturing environments.
