Metal detection systems with integrated conveyor belt

Safely free of metallic contaminants – piece by piece. Our tunnel metal detectors for conveyor belt use enable you to detect metallic contaminants in piece goods and separate out affected products quickly and reliably. The most effective protection for consumers, your machines and your image.

Metal detectors with integrated conveyor belt are all-in-one systems consisting of a tunnel metal detector, a conveyor belt and optional reject mechanisms. They can be integrated without issue into existing production lines. Our systems provide robust and hygienic conveyor belt technology, together with ultra-precise metal detection and extremely easy handling. The modular design allows for custom solutions tailored to you and your products. More information on how Sesotec metal detectors work is available here.

The benefits in detail

  • Multi-simultaneous-frequency technology and digital signal processing ensure optimum detection across the entire tunnel area.
  • The coil technology of the INTUITY series or GLS and GLS-MF, with an extremely short metal-free zone, allows for the use of very short conveyor belt lengths.
  • Sesotec is one of the first manufacturers of metal detectors with artificial intelligence
  • The conveyor belt control unit with “stop-on-detection” function and various separation systems during the metal detection process facilitate use with a wide range of products.
  • The compact metal detection system is suitable for the inspection of piece goods with load capacity up to 50 kg and for use in dry and wet areas.
  • The stable, open design made from stainless steel allows for wiring in compliance with hygiene requirements and guarantees top scanning sensitivity.
  • We offer conveyor belts designed specifically for use in the food industry.
  • Hygienic design
    • Bevelled edges so water can drain off
    • Open profile (no round tubes)
    • No dead zones where dust and dirt can collect
  • Our systems therefore meet industry guidelines, such as the International Food Standard.
  • Touch displays with intuitive navigation enable you to configure our systems quickly and easily for different applications. Operating errors are virtually ruled out.
  • The AuditCheck function tests and documents detection in an automated process.
  • An exportable, password-protected system logbook or the option of directly connecting to the company network ensures the necessary exchange of data.
  • A menu-guided validation system enables quality control in line with HACCP, IFS and BRC standards.

Design and alternative configurations

Conveyor belt

The materials used meet the food industry’s hygiene requirements. We offer models for dry and wet use.

Variable unit sizes

Standard belt widths of 200 to 500 mm and effective aperture heights of 100 to 350 mm make it possible to check a wide range of products.

Different separation systems

In line with the different properties of the products that require inspection, different separation systems are available, including pushers, air-blast nozzles, swivel arms, retraction belts and reject flaps.

Housing/Surface

We offer the right options for housing and surface finish, even when it comes to special hygienic requirements and mechanical load.

Customisable

The highly flexible design makes it possible to adapt the systems to meet the needs of your specific products and production set-up.

Metal Detection with Artificial Intelligence

Products with high or fluctuating levels of product effect (due, for example, to metallized packaging or storage in brine or water) can be more reliably inspected with THiNK. False rejects, and the food waste they cause, are reduced. Learn more about THiNK.

White Paper

How artificial intelligence contributes to sustainable and profitable food processing

Despite the breadth of technology available for foreign object detection, certain types of food products remain difficult to inspect via conventional methods. The reason for this is that some foods have high levels of product effect, which can interfere with metal detection. This white paper examines the phenomenon of product effect, the problems it can cause, and why artificial intelligence offers an innovative and promising solution.

Safe bread and rolls from the Austrian Waldviertel

The Backwelt Pilz produces pre-baked and pre-cooked deep-frozen baked goods, for the food retail trade, petrol station shops and system gastronomy. In order to ensure that bread and rolls are absolutely free of foreign bodies, the Backwelt Pilz decided, in addition to the existing metal detectors, also to install RAYCON D+ X-ray inspection equipment for packaged products.

Salami loidl

Case Studies

Metal detection with AI ensures the perfect salami

Founded in the 1960s, H. Loidl Sausage Producers and Distributors GmbH & Co KG attributes their rapid growth to the high quality of their salami products. Once ripe, some Loidl salami products are packaged in slices. This requires
removing the casing and the aluminum clips by hand. In some cases, residue from the aluminum clips remains on the salami. The standard metal detection solutions Loidl had used up un til that point were not sensitive enough to reliably detect the metal contaminants. So Loidl turned to Sesotec in search of a solution for detecting and automatically rejecting metal contaminants from salami sticks.
