Thermo Scientific Intellitrack XR (IXR) Signal Processing Software – Enhanced Metal Detector Performance For Conductive Products

By Yuanjun Chloe Lu, Application Specialist, Thermo Fisher Scientific

Industrial metal detectors have been widely used in manufacturing facilities to identify unwanted metal contaminants in packaged, unpackaged, and bulk goods. Specifically in the food industry, certain products containing high salt and moisture content present a challenge to metal detectors due to high product effect. This high product effect can cause false rejects leading to a reduction in manufacturing efficiency and profitability.

Discover an innovative signal processing software designed to enhance metal detector performance for challenging applications with high product effect. Some typical applications that benefit from this software include:

• Dairy products with high salt content, such as cheese and butter
• Marinated meat and seafood
• Cleaning products such as wet wipes and wet floor mopping cloths
• Pickled vegetables and fruits
