Conveyor metal detector in use in a commercial bakery How Metal Detectors are Used in Food Processing Introduction of metal contaminates can result from a variety of breakdowns common in the production process. Anything from processing equipment wear and tear,

For nearly 25 years, Advanced Detection Systems has been providing metal detectors for the food processing, packaging, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and industrial applications. The ProScan Max® III conveyor metal detector system is ideal for running packaged and some larger loose products.

The Reason For Testing Your Product & Your Metal Detection Equipment The automation of the food processing industry guarantees that the food we eat will come in contact with various types of equipment, from automated pickers in the field, to

Metal Detection for Aggregate & Mining Applications In industrial applications, metal detectors defend production lines from tramp metal and ferrous impurities that can damage your conveyors and processing equipment. Proper use of an industrial metal detector also improves the purity

When you’re looking at metal detection systems for use in your product line, have you wondered “How small of a piece of metal will this detect?”  “How do they determine that?” Good questions! How is Metal Detector Sensitivity Determined? Metal

The Theory Behind Metal Detection Balanced Coil All metals are either magnetically conductive, electrically conductive or both. When they enter an electro-magnetic field, they create a detectable disturbance or “signal”. Modern metal detectors operate on the balanced coil, full loop

Food metal detectors detect and remove ferrous, nonferrous and stainless steel metals during food processing and packaging. Learn how and what the most common food processing metal detectors are.

Metal detection is essential for the food processing and packaging industry. Not only do metal detectors protect the processing equipment, but they are also important in ensuring product purity and consumer safety. But have you ever wondered how metal is

Determining the proper height and width of your metal detector ensures that your application is getting the best possible sensitivity; both height and width play critical roles in sensitivity and ease of installation. The Protector metal detection system is designed

Metal detection is crucial to operation for a number of industries. Our metal detectors are used to ensure product purity, protect consumers and protect expensive equipment; making accurate, consistent and reliable detection extremely important. However, when your industrial metal detector

The SurroundScan Protector series of industrial metal detectors have a unique Product Monitor feature that Displays real time product signals. It is one of Advanced Detection Systems’ core technologies that allow our metal detection systems to provide superior detection of
