What can metal detectors find in products and how do they help you? Let’s learn about these essential inspection tools.
Metal detectors have become indispensable tools in ensuring product quality and safety across various industries. Whether you’re manufacturing food, pharmaceuticals, or consumer goods, detecting metal contaminants is crucial to maintaining standards and protecting consumers. At AP Dataweigh, Inc., we create checkweighing systems complete with metal detectors. In particular, we often utilize the Phantom Metal Detector from Fortress Technology, as with the HR-C checkweigher.
The Phantom Metal Detector is a pinnacle of innovation in the field, offering unparalleled performance and reliability. Equipped with advanced technology, it can precisely detect even the smallest metal contaminants, ensuring your products meet the highest quality standards. But what exactly can these metal detectors find in your products?
Ferrous, Non-Ferrous, and Stainless Steel Contaminants
Metal detectors are adept at detecting a wide range of metal contaminants, including ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel particles. Whether it’s a stray piece of machinery, a broken part, or a tiny metal shard, this detector can identify it, safeguarding your products from potential hazards.
Foreign Objects Embedded in Products
Sometimes, metal contaminants can inadvertently find their way into products during manufacturing. These foreign objects pose serious risks to consumers and can damage your brand’s reputation. With a metal detector included in your inspection process, you can rest assured that even embedded metal objects will be swiftly identified, allowing immediate corrective action.
The Business Advantages of Metal Detectors
Ensuring Compliance with Industry Regulations
Regulatory bodies enforce strict guidelines concerning metal contamination in various industries, particularly in sectors like food and pharmaceuticals, where product safety is paramount. Metal detectors used with your checkweigher help you meet and exceed these regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
Diverse Construction Options for Versatility
One of the standout features of the Phantom Metal Detector is its versatility. With construction options including painted aluminum, stainless steel, and BSH (IP69K certified) for waterproof protection, you can choose the model that best suits your specific application and environmental conditions. This ensures longevity and performance, even in challenging operating environments.
