Food-Grade Metal Detectors for your process

Inspect food products for unwanted metal in a controlled line arrangement.

ADS ProScan systems combine a metal-detection head with a suitable product-handling and rejection arrangement. Conveyor, gravity and pipeline configurations address different product presentations. For a conveyor duty, the aperture, belt, reject timing and product effect all need review.

Example: Inspect packaged bakery products and reject affected packs without losing track of them.

Also known as: Food metal detectors, conveyor metal detectors, ProScan systems.

Inspect the real product

moisture, temperature, salt and packaging influence usable sensitivity.

Pair detection with rejection

choose a reject mechanism around pack shape, speed and spacing.

Plan verification

include test pieces, reject confirmation and the operating procedure.

How It Works

Present product consistently

Detect the metal target

Reject or stop and verify the response

Typical Materials & Industries

Bakery and snacks

pack dimensions and crumbs influence conveyor design.

Meat, dairy and wet foods

product effect and washdown conditions need assessment.

Dry ingredients

compare conveyor inspection with gravity-drop inspection.

ProScan airblast rejection

ADS demonstrates airblast rejection on a ProScan conveyor. The clip shows the reject response on that arrangement, not a universal detection sensitivity.

Watch on the manufacturer’s official channel

Application & Process Context

Product condition, moisture, pack or stream dimensions, belt speed or free-fall rate, metal targets, available space, and the required reject or stop response.

Configuration & Application Review

Equipment duty: Inspect food products for unwanted metal in a controlled line arrangement.
Selection basis: Product condition, moisture, pack or stream dimensions, belt speed or free-fall rate, metal targets, available space, and the required reject or stop response.
Available configuration review: Aperture and conveyor dimensions, Dry or washdown construction, Reject mechanism, Controls and alarms, Product settings, Test-piece and verification arrangements.
Application verification: Detection performance depends on the product, aperture, contaminant and operating conditions. Establish acceptance criteria with actual product tests at the intended speed and presentation.

Options to discuss

Application Questions

Can a catalogue sensitivity be promised on my food?

Detection performance depends on the product, aperture, contaminant and operating conditions. Establish acceptance criteria with actual product tests at the intended speed and presentation.

What should I send RTS for a review?

Product condition, moisture, pack or stream dimensions, belt speed or free-fall rate, metal targets, available space, and the required reject or stop response.

Find tramp metal

Heavy-Duty Metal Detectors >>

Find tramp metal in demanding industrial bulk-material streams.

Example: Detect a tramp-metal item before aggregate reaches a crusher.

Also known as: Tramp metal detectors, industrial conveyor metal detectors, SurroundScan Protector systems.

Inspect free fall

Gravity-Drop Metal Detectors >>

Inspect a free-falling dry-solids stream before the next process.

Example: Inspect dry grain or another suitable ingredient before it enters a downstream process.

Also known as: Gravity-fall metal detectors, free-fall metal detectors, gravity-drop ProScan systems.
