Metal detector for packaging lines
Ensuring the safety and quality of packaged products is critical in food and pharma industries. Contamination by metal particles can lead to product recalls, damage to machinery, and compromised consumer safety.
Detect and reject contaminated products
The metal detector by Theegarten-Pactec is designed to identify and reject metal contaminants in product rows efficiently. It features an integrated cross reject conveyor that separates contaminated products to one side and aligns non-contaminated products properly for wrapping to the other side. The system includes a three-phase motor driven conveyor with a frequency controller integrated within the switch cabinet, ensuring smooth and controlled operation. Maintenance is simplified by the easy access provided through removable conveyor support plates and quick tensioning devices for the conveyor belts. It is equipped with pneumatic web tracking control, ensuring precise alignment and rejection of out-of-spec products. The system includes sliding waste trays under all product transfers and scrapers for efficient waste management. Return shafts with a diameter of 10 mm facilitate smooth product transfer, further optimizing the packaging process.
