Equipment introduced by S+S can be used both for goods in and for end of line applications, to detect magnetic and non-magnetic metallic contamination and whether or not it is enclosed inside a packaged product.
At the heart of the Varicon system is an advanced detection coil technology using multi-frequency, two-channel techniques to achieve the best sensitivity to all types of metals and the smallest possible metal-free zone for easy integration with existing production lines, says the company.
A choice of two types of control units using digital signal processing and quartz stabilised search frequencies combined with microprocessor control, will allow precise matching to the demands of specific applications, adds S+S.
Self-monitoring, auto-balancing, and temperature compensation are standard features along with auto-learn.
Non-volatile memory is used to store multiple product specifications to simplify product changeover and all machine parameters are password protected.
