Daily inspection is very important.

Securing guaranteed detection sensitivity and accurate rejection!

Check the operation at the start of the work day, when changing
∗1 9:00 AM
products and at regular periods.

1. Checking sensitivity
5°C
Sensitivity varies with the product temperature∗1 and

materials, and the ambient temperature.

2. Checking rejector operation 10°C 2

Check that contaminated products are rejected
correctly by the rejector.
 Check under the most difficult detection conditions.

SUS Fe
• Attach the most difficult to detect metal contaminant
to a test product and check the rejection.
(Usually, check the rejection operation by using the
Fe or SUS testpiece.)

• Attach the testpiece to the most difficult to detect

position of the product and check the rejection.
(The head center is the most difficult to detect
position.)

• Sometimes a metal contaminant cannot be detected

depending on the shape and orientation of the
contaminant.
(Remember that not all metals can be detected!)

∗See page 14 for a description of detection sensitivity and easy- and difficult-to-detect items.
 Five Basics of Quality Control
1. Manage correctly Do not allow inappropriate items to be placed on or near the metal detector.
2. Install correctly Install the metal detector and rejector correctly so the upstream and
downstream conveyors are not touching them.
3. Clean thoroughly To prevent lowered detection sensitivity, clean the conveyor belt and

In the former case, the value varies each time a test product is inspected. In the latter, the value is
constant and depends only on the metal detector.
