FA-MD-II Conveyor Belt Metal Detector for Packaged Food
Metal contamination in finished food is the number-one reason for a retailer rejection or recall. A loose wire fragment, a bit of equipment wear, a snapped blade — it only takes one piece to reach a customer.
The Fanchi-tech FA-MD-II in our Shanghai photo is the standalone conveyor belt metal detector that sits on your packaging line: finished packs ride the belt through the detection head, and any metal-contaminated pack is automatically rejected before it ships.
What You See On This Machine
- Stainless detection head with touchscreen —operator sets sensitivity, learns the product recipe and views alarms on the integrated touchscreen.
- Through conveyor belt — white food-grade belt carries packs straight through the head.
- Adjustable product guide rails — black hand knobs on both sides center packs of different widths.
- Right-side control box — emergency stop, power and warning marking on a standalone cabinet.
- Caster + adjustable feet — roll the unit to the line, lock it level.
