How to Operate The Food Metal Detector Correctly?

Food metal detector is a device used to detect impurities and foreign objects in food, widely used in fields such as food production, processing, packaging, and inspection. Proper operation of metal detectors is crucial for ensuring food quality and safety. The following are the correct operating methods for food metal detectors, which are divided into steps such as preparing for startup, adjusting sensitivity, checking detection effectiveness, placing tested items, conducting testing, processing test results, shutting down, and daily maintenance.

1. Preparation for startup

Check if all components of the metal detector are intact and if the connecting wires are secure.

Confirm that the device power is connected, then turn on the power switch of the metal detector.

2. Adjusting sensitivity

The default sensitivity of metal detectors may not meet all detection requirements, and sensitivity needs to be adjusted based on the actual material and size of the detected item.

Usually, the sensitivity adjustment knob is located on the controller of the metal detector and can be gradually adjusted according to the detection effect.

3. Check the detection effect

Before starting formal testing, a metal object of known size can be used for testing to ensure that the metal detector can function properly and accurately detect the metal object.

If the detection effect is not ideal, the sensitivity can be adjusted appropriately until satisfactory detection results are achieved.

4. Place the tested item

Place the tested food in the detection area of the metal detector, ensuring that the distance between the food and the detector is appropriate.

Being too close or too far can affect the detection effect, so it is necessary to adjust the distance between the food and the detector according to the actual situation.

5. Conduct testing

When the detected item passes through the metal detector, the equipment will automatically detect and issue an alarm signal, reminding the operator of the presence of metal impurities.

Pay attention to whether there are any abnormal situations during the detection process, such as detector failures or unstable detection results.

6. Processing test results

According to the test results, food containing metal impurities will be isolated or processed to ensure product quality and safety.

Record and analyze the test results for subsequent quality control and improvement.

7. Shutdown

After completing the detection task, turn off the power switch of the metal detector.

When shutting down, ensure that the device's power is cut off to prevent accidental damage.

8. Daily maintenance

Regularly inspect the coils, sensors, and other components of metal detectors to ensure their normal operation.

Clean the surface of the detector to maintain equipment cleanliness and hygiene.

Regularly inspect the circuit system to ensure stable operation of the equipment.

In short, the correct operation of food metal detectors requires following certain steps and methods, and operators need to have certain training and operating experience to ensure the correct and effective use of metal detectors. Only in this way can we ensure food quality and safety, and prevent metal impurities from contaminating food.

Food metal detector is an important device for safeguarding product safety. It has highly sensitive detection ability and can quickly detect small metal impurities, effectively preventing harm to consumers caused by metal foreign objects. It has strong adaptability and is suitable for various forms of food, whether it is solid, liquid or powder, it can easily handle. Easy to operate, with good stability, it can not only meet daily testing needs, but also maintain normal operation in harsh environments. In addition, food metal detectors also have the advantages of high cost-effectiveness and wide application, making them an indispensable helper in production, processing, packaging, and inspection fields.
