  8. How To Detect 87 Percent Smaller Wire Contaminants In Manufacturing 1/5/2017

    Metal detector sensitivity performance is usually expressed in terms of the diameter of a test sphere made from a specific type of metal, such as ferrous, non-ferrous, aluminum or stainless steel.

  9. Improving Food Safety Inspection of Pumped Products 10/25/2016

    This paper explains how product inspection systems support food safety compliance by eliminating physical contaminants and the factors that affect the sensitivity of product inspection equipment.

  10. Boost OEE And Find Smaller Metal Contaminants 8/26/2016

    ‘Product effect’ (a phenomenon where the type of product being inspected can itself hinder the inspection technology’s capability to identify a particular contaminant) has long been a problem for food manufacturers. In the case of metal detection, product effect can be caused by a number of factors such as high moisture or salt content, temperature variations, size and shape of the product, orientation through the detector and packaging material.
