Conveyor belt metal detection system

Ensure seamless product safety with a system that detects and separates metallic contaminants in diverse production lines, safeguarding quality from frozen foods to plastic processing materials.

Detects and Removes Metallic Contaminants

The INTUITY Conveyor Belt Metal Detection System from Sesotec provides meticulous detection and removal of metallic contaminants from various production lines. Utilizing multi-simultaneous-frequency technology with digital signal processing, it ensures accurate detection throughout the tunnel zone and minimizes false rejects, particularly beneficial in food, plastics, and recycling industries.

Designed for both dry and wet applications, this system integrates seamlessly into production lines, accommodating products ranging from cornflakes to polycarbonate sheets. Standard unit sizes handle loads up to 50 kg, with variable belt widths and aperture heights enhancing its versatility across diverse product forms and sizes.

Automation is simplified with a PLC-controlled system featuring a “stop-on-detection” function, various separation mechanisms, and intuitive touch displays. This guarantees efficient operations with minimal human intervention, supported further by integrated AI for improved reliability in challenging scenarios like metallized packaging interference.

Engineered in stainless steel with a hygienic open design, the system meets stringent industry guidelines, including HACCP and IFS standards. Options for customization cater to specific process requirements, ensuring compatibility with existing setups and operational goals. With quick, tool-free cleaning facilitated by a CIP system, maintenance becomes less frequent and ensures a sterile production environment.

Benefits

  • Ensures product purity by reliably detecting and ejecting metallic contaminants, safeguarding consumer safety and brand reputation.
  • Integrates smoothly into existing production lines, minimizing installation time and maximizing productivity without extensive alterations.
  • Reduces operational costs with user-friendly automation features, limiting the need for constant manual oversight.
  • Adapts to diverse environments, maintaining high performance across varying moisture and product effects, thanks to AI augmentation.
  • Complies with industry hygiene and safety standards, facilitating adherence to regulatory requirements and quality audits.
