Product Description

Tunnel Metal Detector Head for Food Industry

Precision Detection for Inline Food Processing & Quality Assurance
 

 

Product Overview

The Tunnel Metal Detector Head is a critical component in modern food processing lines, providing accurate and reliable detection of metal contaminants in a wide range of food products. Designed for integration with existing or new conveyor systems, this detector head is ideal for identifying ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged or unpackaged food items.

Built with high sensitivity, stable performance, and food-grade materials, the tunnel-type metal detector head is an essential solution for food manufacturers seeking HACCP, BRC, IFS, and FDA compliance.

 

Key Features

High-Sensitivity Detection

• Detects:

  • Ferrous (Fe) particles down to 0.5 mm

  • Non-ferrous down to 0.8 mm

  • Stainless Steel (SUS 304/316) down to 1.0 mm

• Balanced coil system for consistent performance across the tunnel aperture

Multi-Frequency Technology (Optional)

• Adapts to various product types, especially wet, salty, or conductive items (e.g. meat, cheese, seafood)

• Reduces false alarms caused by product effect

Auto-Learn & Product Memory

• One-touch auto-setup for new products

• Stores 50+ product profiles to switch instantly between product types

Hygienic and Durable Construction

• Full SUS304 stainless steel housing

• Designed for food-grade washdown environments (IP65 or IP69K optional)

• Open-frame or enclosed-frame configurations available

User-Friendly Interface

• 7" touchscreen control panel

• Multi-language display (English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, etc.)

• Password-protected settings and operator-level access control

Would you like a quote, datasheet, or comparison with full-frame models or combo systems (e.g. with checkweigher)?

Our metal detecting head is mainly used in the food and chemical industries, such as dairy products, meat, grain and fruit. It uses advanced algorithm to detect the metal inside the tunnel. The scanning frequency can be adjusted according to your requirements.This food tunnel metal detector is suitable for a wide range of applications.
The tunnel metal detector head is mainly applicable to the food industrial field and its main application is for detecting corrosion products in concrete, oil and other metals. The instrument can be used for detecting circular tin plating of sanitary ware products and other components on the surface of stainless steel, under the influence of acid, alkali and carbonate.


Product advantages:
 Product advantages:
Mechanism exported from Germany, Dual-channel metal detection system. Coil with a rectangular aperture (no points).
Control system: ADLINE microprocessor controller.
Combined with two-way signal detection circuit technology, liquid crystal display operations in English and visualization.
Has the adjustment function of products effect, such as moist products, products including sugar or salt, they all can make the machine has the signal of metal, which is actually has no metal, so it gets wrong information from the products and affect the detection result. So use this machine with this function can reduce the products' effect to get better detection result.
With memory and learning function, can store 12 kinds of product testing parameters, detecting a wide range of materials.
Completed by the digital signal processing circuit can detect all metal objects, adjusting the simple, stable and reliable.
The combination of DSP and microcontroller data items on the test sample and treatment to improve detection.
Special transport mechanism designed the maxi-Mize sensitivity of metal detectors.
Flexible modular design can be customized according to different requirements.
stainless steel 304 with open transport system. Easy to clean .
Meet the requirements of IFS and HACCP certification.  There are a variety of options excluded institutions depending on the application.
With superior shock interference.
