Sensitivity is an important factor when choosing a metal detector. Each type of metal detector will offer different degrees of sensitivity performance. Understanding the impact sensitivity has on metal detection will help you decide on the most appropriate model to meet your needs. 

Sensitivity refers to the detector's ability to accurately and consistently detect specific types and sizes of metal contaminants. Some systems have the capacity to detect non-spherical or irregular-shaped contaminants whereas others may not. All detectors have a spherical sensitivity range. This can vary from 0.1mm - 1.5mm in size. When choosing a detector it is important to follow guidelines regarding this sensitivity.

The most important thing to consider when choosing a single or multi frequency metal detector for your production line is the product you will be inspecting. Whether or not your product is packaged in film, wet or dry, hot or cold, frozen or liquid, will have an impact on which detector you will require. 

Two or more of the challenging applications such as those listed above will require two or more frequencies applied simultaneously. The more frequencies delivered the greater the detection capabilities.

• Ferrous metals such as steel and iron 
• Non-ferrous metals, such as copper, brass and aluminium 
• Stainless steel contaminates

Metal detectors can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines without issue. It is recommended to put the metal detector at the end of the production line for packed products allowing a final product inspection of metal contaminants.

However, it is possible that the presence of metal within a product may be harmful to other machinery. In this case the detector should be placed before it is further processed.

• Inspection history - this function saves the past 100 inspection results in the internal memory to be analysed. 
• A detachable conveyor belt
• Adjustable belt speed ranging from 10-60m/min
• Protection from dust and water (IP65 Standards)
• Ability to operate in a wet environment and be washed down after use
• Automatic sensitivity setting function
• Easy operation touch panel

Metal detectors are finely tuned machines that require ongoing maintenance and inspections to ensure optimal performance. Each model of detector will come with an equipment maintenance programme that provides detailed performance monitoring checks. 

These checks should be carried out in accordance with the prescribed intervals to maximise the lifespan of the machine.
