How Does A Metal Detector Work
September, 06, 2011
Metal Detectors are used to detect a metal that may not be readily visible. A metal detector is a security device that is designed to detect Ferrous and Non Ferrous Metals including stainless steel. Metal Detectors consist of oscillator that produces alternating current. The current passes through the coil producing magnetic field. When the electrically conductive metal comes close to the coil it produces its own alternating magnetic field. The change in the magnetic field due to the metallic object is then detected by the Metal Detectors.
Unique Equipments is the leading manufacturers & exporters of Metal Detectors from India. We are engaged in manufacturing and supplying a trustworthy array of Metal Detectors. There are different types of Metal Detectors for each and every application offered in this the market to assure complete checking for safety of food processing and other pharmaceuticals& chemicals processing of various materials.
Some of the most common and widely used types of Metal Detectors are:
- Industrial Metal Detector
- Gravity Feed Metal Detector
- Tablet Metal Detectors for Pharmaceuticals
- Micro Scan Metal Detector
- Hand Held Metal Detector
- Pulse Induction Metal Detector
- Security Metal Detector
- Hand Held Metal Detector
- Deep Search Metal Detector
- Door Frame Metal Detector
These Metal Detectors are highly sensitive and are majorly used by various processing industries and other manufacturing units, These Metal Detectors works on three different technologies:
- VLF (very low frequency)
- PI (pulse induction)
- BFO (beat-frequency oscillation)
With the help of the latest technology, these Metal Detectors have proved to be a boon and are majorly preferred for the following features:
- Maximum Target Discrimination
- Automatic Balance
- Lowest False Alarm Rates
- Low Power Consumption
- Instant Recovery on Detection
- Easy to Operate
- No specially skilled personnel is required to operate
- High Reliability, long life performance
- High Sensitivity and High Accuracy
- Detects all metals including non magnetic Stainless Steel
- Totally indigenous. Spare parts and maintenance readily available
- Robust and user friendly controls and features
- Audio / Visual alarm on Detection
These are the latest technologies that have made the manufacturing of the Metal Detectors very efficient and highly accurate. These Metal Detectors has become very essential need these days. For a full proof security purpose, metal detectors have proved a boon. Metal Detectors can detect the unwanted metal material and immediately beep out to help for security and processing purposes. When it comes to quality, the standards to be maintained by a food processing company differ from that of a machinery manufacturing company. All food processing company must be conscious of quality and brand image. A single contaminated product can lead to health problems and cause long-term damage to a company's image. This is the reason why stringent quality control has been pushed right to the top of the agenda for food manufacturers in recent years. The industry must focus on achieving operational excellence in manufacturing process. Continuous improvements in ensuring consistently the desired quality while complying with global standards will help the industry. Quality niggles exist in every industry, but the food and pharma industry has more accountability attached to itself. For instance, there is absolutely a no tolerance limit in terms of quality in the food and pharmaceuticals industries.
