HE-50-15 Food Metal Detector for Food Processing Lines — SD HENGER GROUP
Conveyor Metal Detector · Fe Ø1.0 mm Sensitivity · 500 × 150 mm Aperture · IP65 Washdown · SUS304 Food-Grade Construction
Product Introduction
The SD HENGER GROUP HE-50-15 is a conveyor metal detector built for the food industry, detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contamination in meat, frozen food, grain, and packaged product. As a food metal detector designed for HACCP and BRC metal detection programs, it handles bulk, bagged, boxed, and cartoned formats through a 500 × 150 mm inspection aperture.
Within a complete food processing line, this metal detector conveyor system serves as the metal-detection CCP ahead of final packing. Engineered to pass high-moisture and high-salt product without false rejects, it stores over 100 product profiles and stops the conveyor automatically on detection. Because we manufacture the full line in-house, the metal detection machine can be specified with matched conveyor height and throughput alongside upstream processing and downstream weighing and packing equipment.
Core Advantages
Multi-Metal Detection Sensitivity: This industrial metal detector identifies iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminium, and lead contamination at Fe Ø1.0 mm, Non-Fe Ø1.5 mm, and SUS Ø2.0 mm.
Reliable on Wet, Salted & Frozen Product: Engineered as a frozen food metal detector and meat metal detector, it passes high-moisture and high-salt product — frozen dumplings, frozen fish, meat, and cured goods — where standard detectors false-trigger.
IP65 Washdown Stainless Steel Metal Detector: SUS304 brushed stainless steel frame rated IP65 for humid processing rooms and cold storage, with an epoxy-potted detection head for long-term signal stability.
FDA-Grade Food Conveyor Belt: White non-toxic food-grade PU conveyor belt certified to US FDA food-contact standards, resistant to staining and bacterial contamination.
100+ Product Memory for Fast Changeover: One-pass auto-learning sets detection parameters automatically and stores over 100 product profiles, so multi-SKU food processing lines switch recipes without re-tuning.
Auto-Stop Alarm for HACCP Compliance: Detected metal triggers a buzzer and LED alarm and halts the conveyor automatically, holding the suspect item for removal — supporting documented CCP control in HACCP and BRC audits.

How the Food Metal Detector Works
The HE-50-15 conveyor metal detector uses balanced-coil digital detection. Product travels along the food-grade PU belt through the inspection aperture, where the detection head generates an electromagnetic field. Metal contamination disturbs that field, and the processor separates a genuine contaminant signal from the product effect caused by moisture and salt content. On detection, the alarm triggers and the conveyor stops automatically, holding the item for removal and CCP documentation.
Application Scenarios & Industry Cases
This metal detector conveyor system is installed as the metal-detection CCP within complete processing lines, supplied standalone or as part of a turnkey project:
Meat Processing Plants: Meat metal detector duty on fresh, cured, and further-processed meat ahead of packing.
Frozen Food Factories: Frozen food metal detector application for frozen dumplings, frozen fish, and ready meals.
Grain, Nut & Dehydrated Vegetable Processing: Rice, corn, nuts, and dried vegetables in bulk or packaged form.
Seasoning, Additive & Pharmaceutical Production: Food additives, seasonings, health supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What metal detector sensitivity can I expect on my product?
A: The Fe Ø1.0 mm / Non-Fe Ø1.5 mm / SUS Ø2.0 mm figures are laboratory values measured on an empty machine. Real food metal detector sensitivity depends on product effect — moisture, salt, temperature, packaging, and density all shift it. Send us your product details and we will confirm the achievable sensitivity for your application.
Q: Does this metal detector work on wet, salted and frozen food?
A: Yes. It is built specifically as a frozen food and meat metal detector, passing high-moisture and high-salt product where general industrial metal detectors false-trigger. Because product effect is strongest in these categories, we recommend confirming your exact product with our engineers.
Q: Can the conveyor metal detector aperture be customized?
A: Yes. Standard aperture is 500 × 150 mm. Non-standard sizes are manufactured to suit your product dimensions and line layout — send us your maximum product size and required throughput for a tailored quotation.
Q: What happens when metal contamination is detected?
A: The buzzer and LED alarm activate and the conveyor stops automatically, holding the contaminated item for removal and documentation. If your food processing line requires an automatic reject device — pusher, air blast, or drop flap — contact us to specify the right option.
Contact SD HENGER GROUP for Your Custom Solution
Metal detector performance depends heavily on your specific product, so we recommend a short technical consultation before ordering. Tell us your product type, packaging format, maximum product dimensions, and required throughput, and our engineering team will confirm the achievable sensitivity, recommend the right aperture size, and provide a factory-direct quotation. We also match conveyor height and throughput to your upstream and downstream equipment. Standalone machine orders and full turnkey line projects are both supported.
