FAQ
Delta Engineering’s in-line metal detection system inspects empty plastic bottles or trays and containers at production speed, identifying ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants before they leave the production process. This prevents customer complaints, recalls, and waste, while ensuring consistent compliance with hygiene and safety standards.
Our systems are designed for unstable bottles and incorporate 15° transfers, vacuum conveying options, and controlled handling. This ensures stable movement through the detection tunnel and prevents false rejects caused by bottle instability.
Our in-line metal detectors identify both ferrous and non-ferrous metal particles, even at small sizes. They are engineered to meet demanding food, pharma, and industrial requirements.
Our systems integrate directly into conveying platforms, benefiting from complete line control: buffering, fallen bottle detection, cascading, and speed management. This ensures stable throughput and maintains overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) across the entire downstream operation.
Detecting metal particles in a bottle is often an early indication that a machine upstream is experiencing excessive wear or beginning to fail. Addressing the issue immediately can help prevent unplanned downtime and maintain overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
