company news about What is a food metal detector and how does it work?

Food Metal Detector Overview:

Food metal detectors (metal detectors) are instruments used to detect metal impurities. Normally, a metal detector consists of a transmitter and a receiving sensor, and when the metal passes through the electromagnetic field generated by the transmitter, the signal received on the receiving sensor will change. The electronic components in a metal detector "see" the change and "tell" whether the change is caused by the metal. If metal is found, alert or exclude accordingly.

Food Metal Detector Installation Method:

1. If a food metal detector is used for the purpose of protecting the equipment, the metal detector should be installed as close as possible to the entrance of the protected equipment.

2. If a metal detector is used to inspect the final product, the detector should be installed at the end of the production line as much as possible.

3. If the packaging itself contains metal or the final packaging is too large to be well detected, the metal detector should be installed in front of the packaging machine.

Functional features of food metal detector:

The control box processes the detection signal from the probe head, displays it when metal is mixed in, and provides overall control of the device.

Probes A probe used to inspect metal. It consists of a photocell and a mirror that detects the passage of the inspected product.

Conveyor belt A belt conveyor used to convey the inspected product.

The frame supports the display, probe, and conveyor belt.

The distribution box provides working power for the control box and conveyor belt motors.
