No one wants metal in their food. 

Metal contaminants can cost you a contract or even cause a law suit. A&D Weighing’s range of metal detectors can find metal contaminants smaller than 1mm. With quality control and reporting demands becoming increasingly stringent for manufacturers and growers, metal detectors are becoming an essential component of production lines in food, chemical and pharmaceutical processing plants. 

A&D’s EZI-Check range, which will be on show at Foodpro, includes a new in-line metal detector for detecting contaminants in packaged products: bottles, boxes, cans, pouches, satchels, trays and tubes.It is Japanese designed to provide an exceptional level of performance, accuracy and reliability, and the compact frame ensures minimal factory space is taken up. 

And it is affordable for small and medium businesses. 

Its features include:

·       Protected from dust and water (IP65 Standards)

·       Hygenic design: can be operated in a wet environment and washed down after use

·       Automatic sensitivity setting function

·       Easy operation with 7 inch colour touch panel

·       Variable belt speed of 10-60m/min

·       Standard ethernet i/o allowing easy networking via LAN

·       Inspection history function can record up to 100 inspection results

·       Maintenance and cleaning is simple with detachable conveyor belt.

A&D tested the system at an Australisian pasta manufacturer. Check out the results here:
