High frequency detector
Designed primarily for snacks, bakery and other dry products with low conductivity, the new Met30+ hf metal detector inspects at 875 Khz, four times more than standard food industry detectors, and claims up to 30 percent higher sensitivity. It uses a single, high-frequency, crystal-controlled oscillator and remains robust and reliable at peak sensitivities. The system is a horizontal unit, employed at the end of the line for final screening of dry, polywrapped finished products.
