Conveyor Metal Detector

Bunting Conveyor Metal Detectors combine a precision-engineered conveyor with advanced metal detection technology to deliver seamless inspection and reliable product handling. Built specifically for food processing and packaging environments, they detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants before they can compromise product quality or safety.

Each system is custom-built to suit specific line requirements, including tunnel size, belt width, reject mechanisms, and integration with existing automation or data capture systems. Units are supplied fully calibrated and ready for installation to minimize setup time and disruption.

Constructed from stainless steel with a hygienic design, Conveyor Metal Detectors are compatible with washdown environments and meet the strict standards required by the food industry. Intuitive touch-screen controls, automatic product learning, and digital signal processing ensure consistent detection across a wide range of products, packaging formats, and line speeds.

By combining high-sensitivity inspection with robust design, these systems help food manufacturers maintain product integrity, prevent costly recalls, and ensure compliance with global safety standards.

Conveyor Metal Detectors are used throughout food manufacturing and packaging operations to ensure safety, compliance, and quality assurance.

Food Processing and Packaging

• Inspects bakery goods, frozen meals, meats, dairy, snacks, powders, and bulk ingredients

• Detects metal contaminants before packaging or final inspection stages

• Supports food safety programs such as HACCP, FSMA, and GFSI

• Integrates with automatic reject systems including pushers, diverters, and air-blast units for product removal

Quality Assurance and Compliance

• Protects against product contamination and costly recalls

• Ensures traceability and verification within quality control systems

• Strengthens consumer confidence and brand reputation through reliable detection

By combining precision inspection with hygienic design, Conveyor Metal Detectors help food producers maintain consistent quality while protecting equipment, product, and brand integrity.

Conveyor Metal Detectors combine a tunnel-style detection coil and conveyor into one integrated inspection system. As products travel along the conveyor, they pass through the detection coil, which scans for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants.

When metal is detected, the system processes the signal and automatically triggers the chosen response, such as activating an alarm, stopping the belt, or removing the product through a reject mechanism.

With advanced features such as automatic product learning, dual-frequency operation (multiMODE), and product imaging software (imagePHASE), Conveyor Metal Detectors provide accurate, high-speed inspection across diverse food products and packaging formats.
