Maintaining product purity and protecting downstream equipment is critical in any processing environment. Our advanced metal detection systems are designed to identify and remove ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants across a variety of applications. We offer specialized solutions for liquid lines, bulk vertical and horizontal flow, packaged product flow, on conveyors or stand-alone, and gravity drop systems, including models optimized for use above vertical form fill seal (VFFS) packaging machines.
With precision tuning, reliable rejection mechanisms, and easy integration into existing lines, our metal detectors help you meet quality standards and safeguard your process from costly contamination.
Our X8 Tunnel Detector with Conveyor integrates the high-pressure wash-down aperture tunnel with a durable conveyor. These systems can be ordered in a wide range of sizes with a myriad of optional equipment and are available in standard designs from our Quick Ship Program. Some of the main features include:
Eriez’ X8 Liquid Line Metal Detector systems are designed for liquids, pastes, slurries or other viscous products where high-sensitivity metal detection is required. The system can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Available in pipe sizes 1.5”-4” diameter. When metal is detected in the product flow, a reject signal is channeled to one of the available output relays. The output relay can be used to activate a ball valve, control a visual or audio alarm, or send a signal to a PLC.
The X8 Vertical Form, Fill & Seal (VFS) units are designed to mount into space-restricted areas below Vertical Form and Fill machines. With its innovative design, the VFS Metal Detector connects to a customer's existing stainless steel hopper and forming tube with simple Jacobs connectors. This compact unit requires no metal-free area above or below the sensing head. Its control circuitry allows for instantaneous electronic recovery from phase adjustments, as well as field switchable narrow zone/wide zone detection capabilities. The Eriez VFS Metal Detector is suitable for washdown, and features food grade pipe and stainless steel construction. The VFS is excellent for detection and removal of ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless metal contaminants in products prior to final packaging.
The Eriez Pharmaceutical Metal Detector is designed to inspect tablets and capsules that are gravity fed from the tablet press. This highly sensitive compact designed metal detector system meets stringent FDA standards and accommodates space - restricted areas within tablet and encapsulation rooms. Eriez' pharmaceutical unit has been engineered with an adjustable sensing head and has one of the largest and easiest to clean product chutes in the industry to optimize efficiency. The adjustable support stand comes with casters and is manufactured from 304 stainless steel.
The X8 Vertical Drop Metal Detectors are engineered for use in gravity free-fall applications. They are constructed of 304 stainless steel and include an Eriez detector with remotely housed electronics, support plate and diverter valve.
Eriez’ Webline Metal Detectors are engineered for use on web or sheet applications. This unit is particularly effective for detecting metallic contaminants in wide, thin products, such as plastics, rubber, wood, woven materials and particle board. The narrow profile and micro metal-free area of the unit permits it to be installed in areas with limited space and with little isolation of any surrounding equipment.
