Ferro-Sure Metal Detection Module

The safety of your customers is of ultimate importance. The potential for legal issues and costs resulting from customer claims are serious matters, as are product recall costs. Also, early identification and rectification of your production plant problems can subsequently mean the difference between production and shut-down.

For these reasons and many others, effective quality control systems are a vital part of today's production facilities.

For your peace of mind, ACS are dedicated to providing you with the most reliable and cost-effective solutions to quality control, and are proud to introduce the Ferro-Sure Metal Detection Module.

Detection of metal particles and subsequent rejection of the contaminated container is carried out without interruption to the production line. Rejected containers are automatically diverted from the main conveyor to the secure section, which is only accessible to your authorised personnel, by way of a security door on the unit. Should the quantity of rejects reach your pre-programmed limit, the line will be stopped. Restart can only be initiated by your authorised personnel, thus ensuring that the cause of rejection has been correctly identified, and appropriate actions taken as per your procedures.
