In the food production industry, metal is one of the most commonly found contaminant materials in food. Metal can be introduced at all stages of processing of food, as it is most commonly used in the construction of machinery, handling equipment and ancillary utensils. A metal detector for the food industry can help ensure the safety and integrity of a wide range of unpackaged, packaged or bulk goods, by identifying metal contaminants during processing or packaging and helping to ensure that they do not enter food that we eat. As part of a HACCP program, metal detection systems can be utilised to provide compliance with food safety standards, retailers' code of practice, legislation and industry guidance.
Â
Types of Contaminants
There are three main groups of metallic contaminants that a food metal detector can sense:
Ferrous
Non Ferrous
Stainless Steel detection depends on the magnetic or conductive properties of the contaminant
Â
The ability for a conventional metal detector used in the food industry to detect metallic contaminants depends upon their conductivity and magnetic permeability:
Ferrous metal contaminants are both magnetic and conductive and are easily detected.
Although they are not magnetic, Non-Ferrous contaminants are good conductors and can be detected relatively easily.
Stainless Steel foreign bodies are the most difficult to pick-up as they are usually non-magnetic and a poor electrical conductor. The ability to detect stainless steel is also hindered when the product is wet or has a high salt content.
Â
If there are other types of contaminants (glass, calcified bone, ceramics, stone) to be detected, then an X-ray inspection system for food will offer enhanced detection capabilities.
