Ideal for food processing and
packaging applications, the Xtreme
metal detector features improved
sensitivity, intuitive operation and
exceptional reliability. This featurerich,
multi-frequency unit is designed
to achieve the highest levels of
sensitivity to detect small ferrous
and non-ferrous metal contaminants
in sanitary and non-sanitary
environments.
“Eriez, the world-leader in magnetic
separation technology, offers the
widest selection of permanent
and electromagnetic equipment to
remove ferrous contaminants from
any process application.” From
purifying silica with a highgradient
rare earth roll producing
25,000 surface gauss to removing
steel fragments in a grain chute
a with a low-cost ProGrade grate
magnet, Eriez has a solution for
every process.
FOREIGN MATTER DETECTION
investment levels.
“We are seeing significant
benefits in the field as previous
technologies are being replaced
as the efficiency’s gained in
larger production lines allow
the investment. Even a small
improvement on a large production
line can equate to great savings
for our customers. It’s a numbers
game in that regard however also
providing superior inspection
and foreign matter removal for
consumer safety.
“The same also goes for multispectrum
and X-ray dual energy
detection. Our customers have
their foreign matter challenges
which means excellent equipment
is needed to focus on the product
and contaminants and discern
the difference between the two.
By investing in state-of-theart
solutions, false rejection is
minimised yet it is still seeing the
contaminants and allowing for
positive rejection of contaminated
product.”
Burrows says he is seeing a trend
of customers wanting to utilise
the fact that their product passes
the sensors of an optical sorter for
foreign matter detection and quality
control.
“The optical sorter has a unique
position in the factory where it can
not only remove foreign material
but it can also offer up product
and production information to
the factory so they can then
manage raw materials and
optimise processes upstream
and downstream of the sorter, in
addition to improving the sorter’s
accept/reject decisions.”
This is known as information
analytics. The optical sorter can
continuously collect and store a
variety of information about the
sort process and product passing
through the sorter including the
dimensions of the object, the colour
and other imaging information
such as good characteristics and
defects. It will also sort operation
data such as detecting specific
defect categories and what is
ejected from the production
line.
“The sorter can process
the collected data in order
to drive more intelligent
sort operations and/
or generate statistical
reports,” Burrows says.
“Using this data, you can make
yourself more productive and
squeeze that lemon a bit harder to
get more productivity out of that
factory.”
