Heavy Duty Metal Detector For The Sausage Industry

HDS-Pipeline

Tampa, FL - Mettler-Toledo Safeline, the worldwide leader in metal detection and x-ray inspection equipment, introduces its new HDS (Heavy Duty Sausage) Pipeline metal detector, which offers unparalleled sensitivity to all metal types for the sausage industry to ensure your product is protected.

Integration with other elements in the manufacturing process is an essential requirement for any sausage product inspection system. These rugged, mobile, compact systems are designed for close integration with leading vacuum fillers and other sausage processing equipment for easy incorporation into a production line. The intuitive, robust PowerPhase membrane style menu driven interface provides easy set up and minimized downtime at product changeovers.

Use of Mettler-Toledo Safeline's unique ZMFZ (zero metal free zone) technology and a robust mobile stand design enables overall system length to be minimized reducing the pipe length helping to reduce product creaming. Full stainless steel construction and sealing standards up to IP69K make HDS pipeline detectors suitable for the harshest meat process environments.

Built-in performance validation software indicates when scheduled testing is due and assists QA staff by guiding them through step by step test routines enabling easy compliance with regulatory requirements. The system has an integral Ethernet adapter enabling connection to all external data collection devices and factory management systems which reduces outlay costs.

A wide range of optional extras including non-metallic throughput tubes, contaminated product reject valves and twister drive shaft extensions provide the other important elements to deliver a fully integrated sausage product inspection solution.
