Tunnel metal detectors 607 TD and conveyor inspection stations

Detectronic 607 TD and 608 tunnel metal detectors inspect packaged and bulk food items passing through rectangular apertures on conveyor belts. The intelligent processor continuously cancels complex product effects to detect ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel particles.

Multi-frequency digital detection processing operating between 30 and 300 kHz
Sealed stainless steel head enclosure built to robust IP68 and IP69K standards
Intelligent SmartLogic Auto Learn software for rapid product profile setup
High-speed reject mechanisms including air jets, pneumatic pushers and drop arms

Pipeline metal detectors for meat emulsions, pastes and liquids

Detectronic pipeline detection systems install directly between vacuum stuffers and clipping units to monitor pumped emulsions, pastes and liquids. Upon detecting metal particles, a pneumatic divert valve instantly isolates the contaminated portion without halting production.

Process pipe diameters ranging from 1.5 to 10 inches for diverse flow rates
Rigid all-welded housing fabricated from 3 mm grade 316 hygienic stainless steel
Nominal sphere sensitivity from 0.5 mm ferrous and 0.8 mm stainless test pieces
Quick-disconnect Tri-Clamp connections and mobile frame with gas spring lift

Free fall gravity metal detectors for bulk powders and granules

Detectronic FF/JS and FF/BD gravity-fed metal detectors mount in vertical gravity drop pipes above multi-head weighers, baggers or below storage silos. Systems scan dry powders, grains, granules and flakes, diverting detected particles via high-speed pneumatic flap gates.

Aperture throat diameters from 60 to 320 mm handling high volume drop streams
Non-metallic internal food contact liners validated to FDA food safety rules
Ultra-fast pneumatic reject diverter flap separating tramp debris instantaneously
Compact drop height dimensions for seamless integration in tight factory towers

Heavy washdown metal detection systems series WET DETECT

The rugged WET DETECT platform is engineered for deboning halls, meat cutting floors and seafood plants subjected to daily high-pressure washdown with hot water and caustic foam. Its open sanitary frame architecture prevents pooled moisture and bacterial harborage.

Complete IP68 and IP69K protection ratings withstanding high-pressure water jets
Open hygienic stainless chassis preventing stagnant liquid residue accumulation
Sanitary levelling feet with floor seals preventing moisture around screw threads
Color-contrasted sealed bearing units and gasketed cable junction enclosures

Dynamic checkweighers and incline block elevator conveyors

Detectronic dynamic checkweighers integrate package weight inspection and metal detection into a compact hygienic frame sharing one operator terminal. Incline Block Conveyors with an integrated 607 TD head elevate raw meat and trim directly into grinders and mixers.

Precision dynamic strain-gauge weighing cells with real-time giveaway tracking
Dedicated separate locked reject bins for out-of-weight and contaminated packs
Cleated modular incline belts elevating bulk meat blocks without back-sliding
Unified intuitive touchscreen operator station with batch statistical logging

Danish machinery inspection standards and heritage of Detectronic

Danish engineering enterprise Detectronic has maintained leadership in the development and manufacturing of industrial metal detectors and product inspection equipment for the food processing industry since 1986.

Located in Støvring, Denmark, the family-owned firm combines Scandinavian machining expertise with rigorous hygiene standards for modern food production facilities.

Detectronic inspection systems operate continuously in meat plants, bakeries, dairies and seafood facilities in more than 100 countries.

An independent manufacturing base in Denmark enables long-term equipment support with a typical operating lifespan of 15 to 20 years, providing replacement electronic modules, mechanical wear items and SmartLogic software upgrades.

Tunnel metal detection platforms 607 TD and multi-frequency digital processing

Detectronic 607 TD and 608 tunnel metal detectors provide high-throughput quality inspection of packaged products, fresh meat portions, poultry, fish and cheese on conveyors.

The digital processing platform scans products across a wide frequency range from 30 to 300 kHz, adapting phase parameters to the temperature, moisture and conductivity of specific items.

Each detector aperture is dimensioned to product dimensions to preserve high magnetic field density and detection sensitivity.

Detectronic supplies systems as standalone detector heads for integration into existing conveyors, or as complete turnkey conveyor systems equipped with reject arms, product tracking sensors, lockable reject bins and safety curtains.

Pipeline detection units for meat emulsions and fluid products

Detectronic pipeline detection systems are engineered specifically for meat processing and dairy plants, installing directly between vacuum stuffers and clipping or packaging machines.

The system continuously inspects pumped meat emulsions, pâtés, molten cheese and fruit pastes, detecting small metallic fragments originating from worn cutter knives and grinding plates.

The detector body is fabricated from 3 mm thick grade 316 hygienic stainless steel and accommodates product pipe diameters from 1.5 to 10 inches.

Upon detection, a high-speed pneumatic divert valve routes the contaminated portion into a reject container without pressure loss in the main line, preventing hydraulic hammer and costly downtime on continuous stuffers.

Free fall gravity metal detectors for bulk ingredients and powders

Detectronic FF/JS and FF/BD gravity-fed metal detectors are engineered for vertical gravity chutes handling flour, starches, powdered milk, grains, flakes and sugar.

Positioned beneath silos, hoppers or above form-fill-seal bagging machines, they provide immediate detection of ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel contaminants within the falling stream.

The internal drop throat measures from 60 to 320 mm in diameter and features food-grade polymer liners compliant with FDA food contact requirements.

An ultra-fast pneumatic diverter flap deflects foreign objects into a reject chute within milliseconds with minimal product loss, maintaining tight dust containment and hygienic standards throughout the packing tower.

Sanitary WET DETECT platform for intensive daily washdown

The WET DETECT platform was developed by Detectronic engineers for abattoirs, deboning halls and seafood processing plants where equipment undergoes intensive daily washdown with hot water and chemical foam.

Its open tubular stainless structure eliminates enclosed cavities and hollow sections, enabling thorough runoff of cleaning chemicals and sanitizing rinse water.

All electronics, power cables, junction boxes and the touchscreen terminal are sealed to IP68 and IP69K standards.

Chassis support legs feature moulded floor seals without exposed thread at ground level, washdown-rated wheels remain open for cleaning, and shaft bearing assemblies are color-contrasted to facilitate hygiene inspection and food safety audits.

Dynamic weight control and modular electronic service concept

Detectronic dynamic checkweighers perform continuous inline weight verification of packaged foods at throughput rates of hundreds of units per minute.

Combined checkweigher and metal detector systems mount on a single stainless frame with a unified touchscreen terminal and segregated reject bins, preventing out-of-spec packages from re-entering the line.

Modular electronic architecture enables technicians to replace the central processor unit in under three minutes during planned maintenance.

The SmartLogic software continuously logs production data and performance validation tests using traceable test spheres, generating documentation for BRCGS, IFS and FSSC global food safety compliance audits.
