We manufacture a range of standard and bespoke metal detector conveyor systems designed to seamlessly integrate with our industrial tunnel metal detectors for contamination detection in industrial food processing and non-food applications. All METTLER TOLEDO Safeline tunnel metal detector heads can be integrated with standard or bespoke conveyor systems in order to fully automate product inspection processes.
How can we assist you?
Seamless Integration With Tunnel Metal Detectors
Flexible Solutions To Support Manufacturer Requirements
Our flexible conveyorized metal detector systems can be designed and built to suit specific process requirements ranging from light to heavy-duty food and non-food applications, operating in almost any working environment. From simple stop-on-detection systems through to fully automated detect-and-reject systems, a wide range of product removal devices are available for food processing and non-food applications.
Enhanced Due Diligence Features
Every metal detector conveyor system comes with enhanced due diligence options to further improve the control and management of inspection solution, ensuring the critical control point (CCP) delivers high-performance metal detection and an increased level of fail-safe functionality.
A Future-Proof Metal Detection System
A choice of metal detector conveyor system designs allows manufacturers of food and non-food products to configure feature sets to suit their own processes, ensuring the metal detection systems is future-proof. All conveyor systems incorporate robust construction standards, providing reliable, consistent inline performance regardless of the working environment.

FAQ
How does a metal detector conveyor system work?
A conveyor is integrated with a tunnel metal detector to allow the product to pass through the aperture of the metal detector and be inspected for contaminated metal. An automatic reject device is frequently fitted to the transport system in order to remove any contaminated product from the production line. There are many different reject mechanisms available including:
- air blasts,
- push arms, and
- lift/drop flaps.
The type of the reject mechanism installed will depend on the product being inspected.
How do I choose the right metal detector conveyor system?
The design of both a metal detector conveyor and the reject mechanism has a major impact on the effectiveness of the overall metal detection program.
A wide range of standard and bespoke metal detector conveyor systems are available: each system is tailored to suit specific production needs, from light to heavy food processing and non-food applications. With Safeline, customers can choose from compact solutions for small spaces with the Series 30 conveyor, right through to the Series 200 conveyor which is designed for bulk product inspection
What equipment comes with an industrial metal detector conveyor?
In addition to the different reject mechanisms available, other important equipment may include:
- Lockable container to collect and hold rejected product
- Full-length cover between detector and reject mechanism
- Fail safe alarm to alert metal detector faults
There are a number of additional optional fail-safe systems to raise level the of due diligence for manufacturers.
Which environments are metal detector conveyor systems suitable for?
Our metal detector conveyor systems are suitable for almost any environment: dry and packaged products, and even wet, chilled and frozen products in extreme environments.
When the working environment gets tough, inspection systems need to be specified to equally high standards. METTLER TOLEDO Safeline's metal detector conveyor systems can be configured with heavy-duty stainless steel detectors rated at IP69K, integrated with rugged, heavy-duty conveyor frames sealed up to IP65 standard.
Why buy an integrated metal detection solution from a single supplier?
Careful consideration needs to be taken into account when designing a conveyorized metal detection system, particularly around static build up on the conveyor frame. This can interfere with the metal detector and create false rejects. A solid system design eliminates static build up, allowing the detector to run at optimum sensitivity, without false rejects.
Purchasing an integrated metal detection solution from METTLER TOLEDO ensures you maximize your equipment performance by having a seamlessly integrated metal detection solution across your production line, without compromising on sensitivity.
