Industrial Metal Detectors
Industrial metal detectors offer maximum protection against ferrous, non-ferrous metal, and stainless steel metal contamination. Industrial metal detectors are used in a variety of applications. The typical areas covered are food, dairy, pharmaceutical, paper, rubber, medical, cosmetics, plastic, textile and chemical industries. Industrial metal detectors are highly successful in preventing downstream equipment from damage. These are also very useful for detecting weapons and bombs in packages or on people.
Different types of industrial metal detectors including underwater metal detector, airport metal detector, walk-through metal detector and handheld metal detector are available in the stores. Underwater metal detectors are widely used to locate metallic objects under water. A walk-through metal detector can detect concealed weapons at security checkpoints. It checks the whole body for metallic objects. Handheld metal detectors are an ideal solution for metallic screening applications. They are mainly designed and manufactured for security sensitive areas such as schools, airports, prisons, courtrooms and customs. They help to pinpoint miniature metal objects. An airport metal detector is also very useful for detecting weapons. Other types of industrial metal detectors are also available in most of the stores.
Industrial metal detectors function in different ways. Handheld metal detectors are light weight, radiation free and highly sensitive. Little maintenance is required in most of the cases. Besides metal detection, a walk-through metal detector includes operator interface and/or controls, electro magnetic compatibility, environmental tolerance, quality control and assurance.
Industrial metal detectors are designed and manufactured to meet the industrial requirements of individuals. Most of these help to reduce downtime and avoid catastrophes, thereby increasing productivity. In order to meet the growing competition in the field, some of the reputed manufacturers offer discounts, free shipping services and guarantee programs. Used industrial metal detectors are also found.
Some of the leading manufacturers in the industrial metal detecting industry are Compass Metal Detectors, DetectorPro, White's Electronics, Super Metal Detectors and CEIA USA Ltd.

LOCK INSPECTION SYSTEMS – CORPORATE BACKGROUND
Company history
Lock Inspection Systems is one of the world’s leading designers, manufacturers and suppliers of automated inspection systems. With an annual turnover of over $20 million and 130 employees, Lock fulfils an estimated 8% of the global demand for metal detection equipment. Lock has been a pioneer in inspection technology for over 50 years, since the company was founded in 1949. Formerly part of a publicly-held engineering group, Lock was acquired by its management team in January 1999, as part of a $50 million deal financed by Schroder Ventures. The acquisition marked the implementation of an extensive investment program in new products, systems, marketing and customer service.
Geographical reach
Lock is based in Oldham in the UK, Massachusetts in the USA, Etten-Leur in Netherlands, Villebon in France and Melbourne in Australia. Its UK base is responsible for research, development, design and manufacture while its US site customises products for the US market. The company is renowned for its high standard of after-sales care, achieved via a network of regional service engineers and high calibre distributors in over 60 countries worldwide.
Key personnel
• Mike Randall, executive chairman: Mike has over 30 years’ experience in packaging machinery and was formerly CEO of Loma group
• Hitesh Hirani, technical director: Hitesh joined the company as an electrical engineer in 1990. Responsible for all aspects of product management and NPD, he oversees R&D, QA, engineering and technical design
Product range
Lock’s wide range of metal detection and checkweighing machinery is a critical component of the quality assurance systems within many global food, packaging, pharmaceutical and textile companies.
Metal detectors:
Launched in 1999 and extended to meet changing requirements, the MET 30+ range responds to every application:
• MET 30+ Horizontal: Lock’s flagship machine can be mounted on a conveyor to deliver a final check at the end of the line or wherever high sensitivity is required
• MET 30+ hf: this latest addition offers food manufacturers and packers an increase in sensitivity of up to 30% on standard detectors for non-ferrous and stainless steel
• MET 30+ 3f: the 3f operates at three crystal frequencies, enabling inspection of products in either metallised film- or poly-packaging
• MET 30+ Pharmaceutical: Lock’s most sensitive machine can be installed after the press for detection of minute particles in tablets and capsules
• MET30+ Pipeline: this rugged machine is designed for the inspection of fluid products, including soups, sauces and jams and meat products
• MET 30+ Waferthin: this compactly designed machine is capable of slotting into the high-speed integrated packaging systems that are widely used in the snack food and confectionery industries
• MET 30+ Vertical Fall: the safety of incoming bulk raw materials in both granular and fine powder form can be guaranteed by these free fall systems.
Checkweighers:
Lock launched its WeighChek checkweigher range in 2000 with improved technical performance, simplified ease-of-use and integration with management information and quality control systems in mind. The WeighChek can be integrated with a metal detector, saving valuable line space and allowing both machines to be controlled from one interface.
