Our industrial metal detectors are designed to detect metal contaminants in products and support reliable quality control within production and packaging lines. Depending on the application, the systems can detect ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and stainless steel, with contaminated products automatically rejected from the production process.
The systems are particularly suitable for the food, pharmaceutical and consumer goods industries, as well as selected non-food applications. Different detection technologies, conveyor configurations and reject systems allow the equipment to be adapted to the product, packaging and production process.
Our metal detectors can be used as stand-alone inspection systems or integrated with checkweighers, conveyor systems and additional inspection equipment as part of an automated production line.
Different detection technologies can be used depending on the application. Multi-Frequency metal detectors use different available frequencies to adapt metal detection to varying products and packaging conditions.
Multi-Spectrum systems use multiple frequency information to evaluate the product signal and can support precise contaminant detection in more demanding applications.
The appropriate technology depends on factors such as the product, its characteristics, the packaging and the required detection performance.
The M Series is a stand-alone metal detector designed for reliable contaminant inspection in production and packaging lines. Depending on the configuration, the system detects ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and stainless steel in a wide range of products.
The metal detectors are suitable for applications in the food, pharmaceutical and consumer goods industries and can be configured with different conveyor, detection and reject systems.
Typical Applications of the M Series
• Food products
• Beverages
• Pharmaceutical products
• Cosmetics
• Industrial products
Performance Features
Detection of iron, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals, Weighing range from 15 g to 60 kg, Throughput of up to 150 products per minute, Multi-frequency or multi-spectrum technology, Flexible conveyor belt configuration, Can be integrated into complete inspection systems
When a metal contaminant is detected, the affected product can be automatically removed from the production line. The appropriate reject system depends on factors such as product size, weight, production speed and conveyor configuration.
Depending on the application, different reject mechanisms are available, including pneumatic pushers, air jets, drop flaps and diverter systems.
Additional functions such as reject confirmation sensors, reject bin level sensors and visual alarm indicators can support reliable process monitoring.
The optimum position of a metal detector depends on the product and production process. Inspection is often carried out after a relevant processing step or towards the end of the packaging line before products are prepared for further processing or dispatch.
Metal detectors can be installed as stand-alone systems with their own conveyor or integrated into existing production and packaging lines. Depending on the application, they can also be combined with checkweighers, labelling systems and conveyor equipment.
When configuring the system, factors such as product dimensions, packaging material, conveyor speed, required detection performance and the appropriate reject system need to be considered.

A metal detector reliably detects metallic foreign objects (iron, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.) in products or packaging. It is primarily used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries for quality assurance and product safety.
Our metal detectors are suitable for a wide variety of products, including:
Depending on the product type, tunnel devices, conveyor belt systems, or drop tube detectors are available.
It generates an electromagnetic field – as soon as a metal part interferes with this field, a signal is triggered. If necessary, the affected product is automatically ejected. Our systems offer high sensitivity and can be adapted to different types of packaging.
Yes—all devices are made of hygienic materials (stainless steel housing) and comply with common standards such as IFS, BRC, and HACCP. Variants for wet areas or high cleaning requirements are also available.
Absolutely – the systems can be combined modularly with our conveyor belts, scales, filling, and packaging machines. We offer optional automatic ejection mechanisms, acoustic signals, or data interfaces for documentation.
Multi-Frequency and Multi-Spectrum technologies allow metal detection to be adapted to different products and production conditions. Multi-Frequency systems use different available frequencies, while Multi-Spectrum systems use multiple frequency information to evaluate the product signal.
The most suitable technology depends on the product, packaging and required detection performance.
Yes. A metal detector can be combined with a checkweigher to create an integrated inspection system. This allows products to be inspected for both metal contaminants and weight within the same production line.
Depending on the line configuration, conveyor systems, automatic reject systems and additional inspection or labelling equipment can also be integrated.
