Metallic Contaminants
To detect metallic foreign objects in packaged, piped or bulk food products, rely on Thermo Scientific* metal detectors to ensure your product is free from contaminants and to protect your brand.
In today’s competitive marketplace, food products must be delivered on time and at a competitive price. Food safety cannot be compromised so metal detectors are an integral part of a HAACP program. The key to detecting metallic contaminants and to protecting your brand is to deploy the highest performance, easiest to use, and most robust metal detectors available.
Drawing on decades of metal detection design and application experience, we have developed the most sensitive, yet easy to operate metal detectors in the world. Our innovative and patented multi-coil design makes magnetic flux more consistent in the aperture, improving signal levels resulting in the highest level of detection capability.
Drawing on design concepts successfully utilized in many consumer products such as cell phones and PCs, our metal detectors’ user interface is universally understandable because it’s based on icons, not complex technical terms. This innovative user interface enables quick setup and optimum configuration with minimal training, reducing production downtime.
Thermo Scientific metal detectors provide a high level of performance, ease of use and reliability. Our patented, multi-coil design typically achieves up to 20% better sensitivity with the lowest false-reject rate than competitive units. In addition, our metal detectors are designed for quick and easy installation and improved reliability, reducing the overall cost of ownership. Also, we have hundreds of standard head styles plus custom apertures and systems. Finally, an all-new, icon-driven interface has been employed making previously complex metal detection set-up and operation a snap.
Choose from the high-performance APEX 500 designed for the most demanding conveyor applications, the compact and flexible APEX 300 for drop through, pipeline and checkweighing combination applications or the economical APEX 100 for basic conveyor metal detection applications.
Thermo Scientific AuditCheck, a unique and patented device that validates performance of the metal detector, is available as an option on all models, except our most basic metal detector. A metal test shuttle is pneumatically passed through the head and the resulting signal is compared to a stored calibration level. Any deviation from this standard is reported so the operator can take action.
