Food packaging and processing solutions specialist TNA has introduced the new Hyper-Detect 5 Metal Detector. The patented design of the new system improves metal detection capabilities while eliminating degradation in product transfer to deliver safe product throughput, and minimise rejects.
The TNA Hyper-Detect is the world’s first non-symmetrical, balanced coil metal detector with a conical aperture into the detector. While conventional ‘throat’ metal detectors have been used by manufacturers to inspect the product before it enters the bag (to allow the use of metallised film), these limit product throughput and packaging speeds. The integrated design of the new Hyper-Detect 5 enables the metal detector to be positioned much closer to the multi-head weigher, dramatically increasing the speed at which the bagger can produce finished bags.
“Ensuring products are contaminant-free is critical in today’s health- and safety-focused operating environments,” said group R&D manager Lawrence Roos. “Yet, it’s just not an option to sacrifice efficiency while these vital checks take place. The new TNA Hyper-Detect 5 allows manufacturers to maintain high packaging speeds while ensuring that their products are checked to the highest standards, achieving high-performance operations with safety assured.”
