Detects Metal Contaminants in Food Production
The APEX 100 Entry Level Metal Detector by Thermo Scientific is engineered to secure your food and beverage production lines against metal contamination. Utilizing robust magnetic and electronic systems, it ensures precise metal detection, akin to the capabilities of the APEX 500 model. Ideal for applications such as snack bars, canned soups, and meat packaging, it operates efficiently across a wide range of products, from solids to liquids. With a processing speed up to 1000 m/min, it seamlessly integrates into continuous, high-speed operations. The unit is housed in a straight-lined, stainless steel 304 case with an ABS plastic front panel, providing durability and corrosion resistance. This detector meets cCSAus, CE, and ATEX zone 22 standards, ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Optional ModBus serial or Ethernet modules allow for seamless PLC integration and remote monitoring, enhancing operational oversight and control.
