Product Range

 

Our range of needle detectors are the best in the world.  They are the only true 'fit for purpose' needle detectors available today and are designed to function in a real factory environment.

Our needle detector range…

  • detects better than 1mm of ferrous material
  • has unmatched tolerance to non-ferrous metal accessories
  • can accurately locate needle fragments
  • is able to work un-disturbed by voltage fluctuations and magnetic noise
  • has a simple 2 minute belt change facility
  • is approved by major international retailers

The technology used to develop our machines is the most advanced technology available and is unsurpassed in terms of:

  • detection sensitivity
  • ability to withstand external interference
  • advanced reporting facilities.   

Features

1. Our detectors easily exceed the performance standards and requirements of the Codes of Practice, followed by all leading retailers.
   
2. Sensitivity quoted at the weakest point inside the detection tunnel – true measure of detection ability.
   
3. 'Plug & Play' performance - all detectors are pre-programmed to the required sensitivity of detection.
   
4. Unmatched tolerance to non-ferrous materials – buttons, zips, buckles etc.
   
5. High immunity to disturbances from external electro-magnetic and mains borne interference allows the needle detector to be positioned within the production line, no ‘exclusion zones’ or voltage stabilisers will be required.
   
6. Automatic ‘test me’ feature guarantees optimum performance throughout production.
   
7. Ability to identify contaminant location
   
8. Long life expectancy – No permanent magnets to weaken over time. Our solid encapsulated detector head and fully welded polished stainless steel frame construction gives lifetime strength, durability and appearance.
   
9. Balanced Coil design – does not require routine de-magnetisation of the conveyor and other metal parts.
   
10.  Advanced software has reporting, communication, product-learn and data memory functions.
 
11.  On screen product and reject counts.
 
12. Security key function ensures factory Quality Assurance procedures are adhered to.
   
13. Password protected against unauthorised access.
   
14. Low cost of ownership. Lasting value. No gimmicks.

* Allow approximately 12mm (0.5 inch) minimum clearance all around the product for its clean passage through the tunnel on the conveyor belt, without touching the sides.

** Detection Sensitivity measured in 'free space', at the weakest point inside the tunnel = Point 'A5' in GAP Calibration Chart.
