IMD Gravity-Fed Metal Detectors
IMD-I-P Gravity-Fed Metal Detectors provide reliable inline metal detection for dry, free-flowing products and bulk ingredients. Installed directly within vertical processing lines, these systems inspect product as it passes through the detection coil and automatically divert contaminated product before final packaging or subsequent processing. Designed for powdered, granular, and bulk ingredients, the system combines high-sensitivity detection, automatic rejection, and hygienic stainless steel construction to help protect product quality, reduce rework and downtime, and support HACCP-based foreign material control programs.
Overview
Features
- Compact footprint – integrates into vertical processing lines with limited space.
- Automatic reject flap – rapidly diverts contaminated product while minimizing waste.
- 304 stainless-steel construction – designed for hygienic food-processing environments.
- High sensitivity & reliability – detects ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless-steel contaminants at small particle sizes while maintaining stable inspection performance.
- Advanced digital circuitry – provides stable inspection performance and resistance to interference.
- Reduced false rejects – minimizes the effects of product, vibration and electrical noise.
- Easy maintenance – intuitive controls and convenient access simplify routine service.
- Automatic or manual programming – allows the system to be configured for different products.
- Compliance-ready – supports food safety programs, audit requirements, and foreign material control plans.
- Designed to minimize false rejects caused by product effect, vibration, and electrical interference.
- High sensitivity and reliability – detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants at small particle sizes while maintaining stable inspection performance.
- Tool-free access supports efficient cleaning and maintenance.
- Built to integrate into existing gravity-fall processing lines with minimal footprint requirements.
