Safeline - Used Safeline Mettler Toledo

• Detecting metal contaminants in packaged food products such as ready meals, baked goods, and confectionery.
• Ensuring safety and quality control for bulk dry goods like grains, flours, and spices.
• Inspecting raw meat, poultry, and fish products for unwanted metallic foreign bodies.
• Checking dairy products, including cheese blocks and yoghurts, for metal inclusions.
• Used in pharmaceutical and non-food industries for quality assurance and product integrity.

Typical detection capability

Capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, commonly down to sub-millimetre sizes depending on aperture and product effect.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, commonly 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Aperture size

Varies significantly; buyers should confirm the specific aperture dimensions of this unit to match their product size.

Throughput

Designed for continuous operation, with throughput rates typically dependent on conveyor speed and product dimensions. Specific rates should be confirmed with the seller.

Construction material

Commonly features stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, suitable for washdown environments.

Operating environment

Typically rated for industrial food processing environments, often with an IP65 or higher ingress protection rating.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Safeline Mettler Toledo metal detectors are designed to identify ferrous (magnetic), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and difficult-to-detect stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or dry products?

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

• Can this metal detector be integrated into an existing production line?

• What is 'product effect' and how does it impact detection?

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.
