Typical throughput

For this class of retail-compliant metal detector, throughput typically aligns with standard retail packing line speeds, often processing hundreds to thousands of items per hour depending on product size and line integration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard single-phase industrial power supply, typically 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Search head aperture

This unit features a 350mm wide x 200mm high aperture, suitable for products up to approximately 140mm in height. Typical units in this category offer various aperture sizes to accommodate different product dimensions.

Conveyor belt width

A 300mm wide PU belt is fitted, which is a common width for retail-focused metal detectors handling individual or small multi-pack products.

System length

The overall system length is 1,230mm, which is a compact footprint for a metal detector with an integrated reject system.

Conveyor height
