A metal detector won’t be able to detect non-metal materials, such as wood, bone, glass, rubber, etc.

Metal detectors have been used in food plants for decades and operation is based on a magnetic field within a tunnel. Metal objects within the field interfere with the magnetic field indicating an unwanted inclusion. Performance of the metal detector does vary depending on the size of the aperture and the product.

Metal detectors are very good at detecting both ferrous and non-ferrous foreign objects, but have limited capacity with stainless steel. X-ray systems on the other hand have an outstanding detection capacity with all metals except aluminum.

Our metal detectors come with a horizontal or a vertical head and in a wide range of sizes, to adapt to all types of products and packaging.

It most likely will. Our metal detectors are available in different sizes, with aperture widths ranging from 210mm to 700mm.

Unfortunately, it can’t. Plastics are not detectable.
