Metal Detector for Food Industry
Metal Detector for Food Industry
Introduction :
Systematic and reliable quality assurance
In the food industry consumer protection and brand name safeguarding have
highest piority.
S+S metal detectors and separators therefore are important components
for quality assurance in keeping with HACCP. They reliably protect your
products against any magnetic or non-magnetic metal impurities. S+S offers
the most comprehensive range of metal separators for the food industry,
which allow the most efficient adaptation of metal separation to your
product and conditions.
1. Metal detectors for packed food
For labelling, marking, weighing, or palletising, bulk materials and packed
bulk materials in most cases are examined on convoyor belts, and metalcontaminated goods are automatically separated.
The prefered method is to examine the packed product immediately before
dispatch to the customer, because there are no more production stages in
which metal particles could get into the products.

Metal Detector for Food Industry
1.1 Custom-made detection coils. Highest sensitivity
Tunnel Metal Detectors GENIUS
GLS were designed espectually for
the food industry. Almost fullyautomatic setting to the product
guarantees optimum sensitivity and
highest reliability.
Further performance features :
• More than 200 diference detection coils : exact matching of size and
version to the product and to the production conditions.
• Highest mechanical stability : prevents interference due to vibration,
impacts, or temperature fluctuations.
• Minimum metal-free zone : very little space required
For bulk piece materials of small height (e.g. wafers) it is also possible to
use Area Metal Detectors GENIUS GLS

1.2 Automatic separating systems. Highest safety
If a metal impurity is detected, the detection coil with highest timing
accuracy activates an eject system, without interrupting the production
process. The ineffeciancy of manual separation is a thing of the past.
• Product- and production-oriented solutions : matched, for example,
to product size and weight, or to the conveying speed.
• Practice-oriented accessories : e.g. lockable containers for separated
(Metal-contaminated) products, level or eject mornitoring.
1.3 Efficient complete system. The most reliable solution
Complete systems are the most
efficient solution. Metal Detector
GUNIUS GLS, conveyor belt, and
separating system are optimally
matched to each other, and as
homogenous unit they guarantee
highest sensitivity and operational
safety.

Advantages of complete systems :
• Easy installation : no need to perform costly modifications at the
production system.
• Highest reliability : in every detail conveyor belt and separating
system are designed for reliable operation of the metal detector.
• Designed according to FDA requirement : the hygienic and
functional design facilitates operation and maintenance of the system.
2. Metal separator for bulk metarials
2.1 Metal separators for free-fall applications
Free-fall separation is the most efficient method for separating metal
impurities from bulk materials. The installation of the all-metal separator
prior to filling, packing, or further processing, has the advantage at the bulk
material is examined in the smallest possible volume, and that the highest
detection accuracy can thus be achieved.
If bulk materials are filled into metal-coated foil packs, metal separation
should by all means be performed prior to this packing process in order to
avoid losses of sensitivity.
Due to the small overall height of free-fall separators, the easy integration
into conveyor pipes with standard quick-release locks, and the Control Unit
GUNIUS which can be placed at the distance of up to 100 m, free for
separators can be installed even at locations that are difficult to access.
Depending on the product, free-fall separators of series RAPID 5000,
RAPID 6000, or MFE can be used.

keeping with HACCP, and allows communication with higher-level quality
control systems (e.g. central data management system INSIGHT).
3. Sturdy construction and hygienic design
In addition to permanent self-monitoring of the Control Unit GENIUS the
sturdy design of the complete system is an other factor guaranteeing highest
operational safety and trobal-free application in your production, The
excellently designed high-grade steel constructions meet the high hygienic
standard of the food industry.
Central data management system INSIGHT
With the INSIGHT central data management system the following data can
be visualised, logged, and printed:
The central data management system INSIGHT is an important element of
your quality assurance in keeping with HACCP. All that is required as a
master computer is a PC with Pentium processor and Microsoft Windows.
INSIGHT makes metal detection transparent;
• The logbook data of all S+S metal detectors and separators that are
integrated in the production process can be called up individually or
the batch. The evaluation of all the parameters and metal detection,
error, and alarm message provides in-time information about the
causes of the metal impurities that occurred. These data can be further
processed, e.g. with Microsoft Exel.

• The parameters of all the networked metal separators can be changed
directly from the central control desk. The optimum setting values of
the metal separators – e.g. in case of a product change – are quickly
and safly update.
• On request it is possible to have error diagnostics and remote
maintenance performed by the S+S customer support through a
modem connection. Down-times and maintenance costs are
considerably reduced, and software updates are transferred in only a
few minutes.
