Metal detection
May 1st 2005

The new Genius Quattro metal detection system from S+S Inspection uses four quartz stabilised field frequencies to provide reliable, fast metal detection in a wide range of products.

Using four frequencies rather than the usual one or two, allows the system to monitor products with a variety of characteristics while achieving low ‘false alarm’ rates and installation in a smaller, metal-free zone.

The company says the technology can be used with all types of detection and separation units, including belt, vacuum and pressure conveyors and free fall applications to provide optimum metal detection and quality assurance. Signal outputs are provided to drive most types of product rejection/separation systems.

The system has a self-learn capability, that automatically compensates for variations in product characteristic, salt, moisture content, and packaging, to minimise false alarms, further enhanced by product tracking.
