Throat and Super Throat vertical metal detectors are designed for integration with Vertical Form, Fill and Seal (VFFS) equipment to inspect free-falling products in food processing and packaging applications.

These vertical metal detectors are particularly suitable for snack food and confectionery processing where metalized film packaging is used.

Inspection of metal contaminants within the product flow takes place immediately before the product enters the bag, overcoming any limitations created by the wrapping material - and ensuring the highest levels of sensitivity is achieved.

To minimize the risk of product recalls in food production due to metal contamination, the latest Throat and Super Throat metal detectors are equipped with eDrive™ technology.

eDrive™ delivers enhanced sensitivity to all metal types, including ferrous, non-ferrous and difficult to detect grades of stainless steel, enabling smaller irregular shaped metal contaminants to be detected.

Reduced Test mode can significantly reduce the frequency of performance testing, increasing production capacity.
