Metal detection system for powders & granules

Ensure product integrity and protect your machinery from metallic contaminants with advanced detection technology, designed to seamlessly integrate into existing production lines for efficient and precise monitoring of powdered goods and granulates.

Detects and Removes Metal Contaminants

The RAPID PRO-SENSE 6 from Sesotec sets a new standard in metal detection for free-fall applications across food, plastics, and chemical industries. It features innovative high-resolution frequency (HRF) technology, ensuring unparalleled detection sensitivity for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including non-magnetic stainless steel. Ideal for powdered foods and plastic granules, this equipment is designed to integrate seamlessly into continuous, high-speed processing lines. Its modular design allows easy customization, quick integration due to low installation height, and flexible configuration of reject mechanisms for specific materials. With a robust stainless steel construction, automatic learning for material conductivity, and easy-to-use GENIUS+ control interface, it allows for straightforward installation and maintenance. The system meets IFS, BRC, and FSMA standards, and is UL and CSA certified for North American markets, offering reliable compliance and operational safety.

Benefits
