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. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Viravan International Co., Ltd.

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 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Viravan International Co., Ltd.

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. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Viravan International Co., Ltd.

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. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Viravan International Co., Ltd.

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. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Viravan International Co., Ltd.
