Cintex Sentry Metal Detector (REFURBISHED) Right-to-Left (1502)

• Detecting metal contaminants in bulk food products such as cereals, grains, and snack foods.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in bakery and confectionery lines.
• Inspecting packaged goods, dairy, fish, and meat products for metallic foreign bodies.
• Compliance with food safety standards like BRC, HACCP, FDA, and USDA in various food processing sectors.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product density and belt speed, commonly handling several tonnes per hour for bulk products.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, commonly 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from AISI 316L stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, suitable for washdown environments.

Detection capabilities

Typically detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel contaminants.

Reject mechanism

For this model, a 'stop-on-belt' reject system is specified, which halts the conveyor when contamination is detected.

Control interface

Often features a touch-sensitive control panel for ease of operation and data input.

Certifications

Units are commonly designed to meet BRC, HACCP, FDA, and USDA compliance standards for food safety.

System footprint

The overall system length for units of this type can vary, with this particular unit having a specified length of 1,510mm.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  This type of metal detector is typically capable of identifying magnetic (ferrous), non-magnetic (non-ferrous), and stainless-steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet environments?

• What is meant by 'Right-to-Left' operation?

• What maintenance is typically required for a refurbished metal detector?

• Can this metal detector integrate with existing production lines?

Metal detectors for food processing remain reliable workhorses in quality control operations. Buyers typically value their durability and consistent contamination detection capability. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history and sensitivity settings proves essential. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward maintenance records and minimal downtime. Common strengths include robust construction, straightforward operation, and cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment. Prospective buyers should verify functional testing documentation and assess integration compatibility with existing production lines.
