Detector Overcomes Problems With Onions
Onions are reported to be one of the most difficult products to inspect for metal contamination.
The Signature operates at 850kHz, which enables it to distinguish very small fragments of stainless steel, swarf and fine slivers of metal said Safeline.
That performance is maintained even in difficult applications where the product itself gives off an electromagnetic signal, as it does in the case of the chilled products made by the chilled foods' specialist.
Said Safeline sales and service manager, Mike Bradley: "One of the main areas we have concentrated our recent development work on is applications where the product itself gives off a 'noise' or signature.
There are a number of technical advances incorporated in our latest equipment, including a new Faraday Screen that greatly reduces any product signals prior to amplification.
That significantly improves detection capabilities and makes the machines easier to use." The Signature machines are also able to inspect products with similar signatures in product clusters.
