2 Conveyor Metal Detectors Exported to Poland for Bakery Packaging Line

conveyor metal detector for food bakery packaging line

A Polish bakery manufacturer upgraded its food safety inspection process by installing 2 units of conveyor metal detector kits for packaged bread and frozen bakery products. The solution helped improve foreign material control, reduce false rejects, and integrate smoothly with the existing packaging lines.

Customer Requirements for Food Metal Detectors Installation

The bakery produces packaged toast bread, European-style rolls, and frozen bakery products for local retailers. Its existing packaging lines required a compact metal detection solution that could detect possible metal contaminants from production equipment wear. It ensures stable operation for moisture-containing bakery products, strengthening the final inspection process before shipment.

Customized Conveyor Metal Detector Solution for Bakery Production

Foodmax Machines supplied two FL-5015 conveyor metal detectors with configurations suitable for bakery packaging applications.

ParameterSolution
Conveyor width500 mm
Detection heightUp to 150 mm
Conveyor speed0.25–0.6 m/s
Construction304 stainless steel
ProtectionIP65
Product memoryUp to 200 product settings
Reject systemAutomatic flap reject
DetectionFerrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel

The conveyor metal detector was calibrated according to the customer’s bread and frozen bakery products. This helped improve detection stability and reduce unnecessary product rejection during continuous production. Before shipment, both machines completed factory testing to ensure reliable performance after installation.

Results After Installing Conveyor Metal Detector System

After commissioning, the two metal detectors were successfully integrated into the customer’s packaging lines. The customer achieved:

  • Detection: 100% inspection coverage (Fe≥1.0mm; NFe≥1.2mm; SUS≥1.5mm).
  • Quality: False rejection rate <0.01%, optimized for high-moisture and frozen products.
  • Efficiency: 70% reduction in manual QC time.
  • Flexibility: Changeover time reduced from 15 min to <2 min via 200 product profiles.

The Polish customer shared their experience after using the equipment:
