Food safety is a top priority in today's global marketplace. Whether you're producing breakfast cereals, baking biscuits, manufacturing bread, or packaging flour, preventing metal contamination is essential for protecting consumers, complying with international food regulations, and safeguarding brand reputation. The Quality Control Inline Metal Detector for Biscuits, Bread, Flour & Flakes is a state-of-the-art inspection solution designed to detect and reject metallic foreign bodies in food production lines with high accuracy and speed.
Built for continuous inline inspection, this system is ideal for dry, powdery, and lightweight food products, ensuring that only safe, uncontaminated goods move forward in your production cycle.
An inline metal detector is a conveyor-based or gravity-feed inspection system installed within your production or packaging line to identify metallic contaminants-ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel-within your product stream. These contaminants may originate from broken machinery parts, raw materials, or packaging processes.
The system continuously scans every product passing through its detection tunnel and automatically activates a reject mechanism when contamination is detected, preventing affected items from reaching consumers.
This metal detector is designed for use in the following segments:
Biscuits & Cookies Production
Bread & Bakery Loaves
Breakfast Cereals & Flakes
Wheat, Maize & Multigrain Flour Packaging
Dry Food Ingredients & Powder Handling
Snack Foods, Crackers & Toasted Chips
Cornflakes & Bran Flakes Lines
Pastry & Cake Processing
Sugar, Rice, Oats & Semolina Plants
From raw ingredient intake to final packaging, this solution supports critical control points (CCPs) for HACCP, BRC, and FDA compliance.
Detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants as small as 0.3 mm, even in difficult product types like high-moisture bread or conductive flour.
Advanced multi-frequency digital signal processing (DSP) adjusts to product characteristics, minimizing false positives caused by "product effect" (e.g., moisture or density).
Auto-learn calibration allows quick setup for various product types-from fine flour to rigid biscuits-reducing changeover times.
Built with SUS304 or optional SUS316L stainless steel, the system offers IP66/IP69K protection for washdown environments in bakeries and mills.
7" or 10" color touchscreen HMI for easy operation, parameter adjustment, data logging, and system diagnostics. Multi-language support and password protection for operator roles.
Available in various tunnel sizes to suit product size and conveyor width, ensuring optimal detection for everything from bagged flour to packaged bread loaves.
Choose from:
Pneumatic pusher
Air-blast nozzle
Flap gate/diverter
Stop-and-alarm system
Reject systems are gentle on fragile baked goods and fast enough for high-speed cereal or flour lines.
Connect via USB, Ethernet, or RS485 for real-time inspection data, audit trails, and connection to SCADA or ERP systems for total traceability.

Product moves along the conveyor or falls through a gravity-feed chute into the metal detector.
Electromagnetic coils in the detection tunnel analyze for metallic interference as the product passes.
If metal is found, the system instantly activates a reject mechanism, removing the contaminated product.
All activity is recorded for audit compliance, and line flow continues uninterrupted.
Eliminates metal-contaminated goods, avoiding costly recalls and brand damage.
Easily integrate this system into a HACCP plan. Supports BRC, IFS, and ISO 22000 compliance for exports.
Accurate rejection avoids removing entire trays or batches, keeping good product in the line.
From fine flour to dense bread loaves, the auto-learn and zone-adjusting features make this detector suitable for multi-product production lines.
Easy to clean, simple to operate, and built to withstand harsh bakery environments.
