Our latest guide on how to correctly test your industrial metal detector answers all the important questions you've been eager to ask. In this guide, our experts explain the differences between validation, verification, and routine performance monitoring. You will also learn about the recommended test methods for various metal detection systems, including:
- Conveyors with discrete products or packs
- Conveyors with bulk products
- Free-fall vertical packaging applications (Vertical Form, Fill and Seal, i.e., VFFS)
- Gravity-feed inspection systems for powders and granular products
- Pipeline systems for liquids, pastes, and slurries
This valuable guide goes beyond basic routine performance monitoring tests. It explores additional retailer testing requirements and offers advice on the recommended testing frequency.
This guide highlights several innovations that make metal detector testing easier and safer for operators. These include:
- Automatic Test Systems (ATS) from METTLER TOLEDO: Non-invasive method to protect product quality and reduce the risk of operators working at height. ATS confirms centerline (worst-case) sensitivity performance with testing completed in 40 seconds.
- Reduced Test Mode: Allows for a decrease in the frequency of metal detector testing without increasing risk, thereby increasing production capacity.
- Emulation Technology: Enables the metal detector to be controlled remotely, enhancing operator efficiency.
- ProdX™ Quality Inspection Data Management System: Prodx takes product safety to the next level. This dynamic software tool provides full digital management for real-time, paperless monitoring and product safety compliance.
