Our reject mechanism minimizes the loss of good product while ensuring contamination is thoroughly removed.

Bunting’s gravity free-fall style metal detectors work without interrupting your process, keeping your operations timely and your product metal free. If metal contamination is allowed to remain in your product, especially in the case of those working in the food industry, severe harm could befall your customers if they ingest a product containing metal contamination. In addition to the potential of your customers being hurt, your brand reputation could be severely damaged.

In addition to concerns of contaminated product, metal contamination can cause severe damage to the other equipment in your facility. Even a small amount of contamination can set off a chain reaction that leads to a greater and greater amount of metal contamination in the long term. This metal contamination can go on to cause severe damage to equipment in your facility that is not only costly to repair, but is also extremely expensive due to the downtime that occurs as a result.

Bunting gravity fall metal detectors protect your product integrity, your customers, your reputation, and your equipment. Our gravity free-fall style metal detectors for the food, powder, bulk, grain, and milling industries conform to all industry-specific safety requirements and deliver superior metal detection.
