Ensuring metal-free products is a critical requirement across pharmaceutical, healthcare, and industrial sectors. Contaminants in tablets, capsules, or granular products can compromise product safety, regulatory compliance, and machinery integrity. SMMS Engineering Systems offers specialised tablet metal detectors and gravity feed metal detectors designed for high-precision detection, protecting both products and production equipment. These systems are especially valuable for B2B clients, including pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract manufacturers, and industrial exporters.
What Are Tablet Metal Detectors?
Tablet metal detectors are high-sensitivity devices specifically designed to detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel particles in tablets, capsules, and small solid products. They are built to integrate seamlessly with tablet compression and packaging lines, ensuring that only safe products reach the market.
Key Features:
- High Sensitivity: Detects even the smallest metal fragments.
- Compact Design: Fits into tablet production lines without disrupting workflow.
- User-Friendly Interface: Simplifies calibration, monitoring, and reporting.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets FDA, ISO, and GMP standards.
What Are Gravity Feed Metal Detectors?
Gravity feed metal detectors are specialised systems used for detecting metal in free-flowing powders, granules, and small products. The product moves through the detector under the influence of gravity, allowing for continuous inspection without slowing production.
Key Features:
- High Throughput: Handles large volumes of free-flowing materials.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Detects all types of metal, including stainless steel.
- Hygienic Design: Easy to clean and suitable for pharmaceutical and food applications.
- Durable Construction: Designed to withstand industrial environments.
Applications
Tablet Metal Detectors:
- Tablet and Capsule Manufacturing: Ensures each batch is free from metal contamination.
- Packaging Lines: Detects metal before tablets and capsules are packaged.
- Quality Control: Maintains product integrity and regulatory compliance.
Gravity Feed Metal Detectors:
- Powdered Pharmaceuticals: Detects metals in bulk powders before compression.
- Granule Processing: Ensures safety in granule-filled capsules and sachets.
- Food Industry Applications: Inspects free-flowing ingredients like sugar, flour, and spices.
- Industrial Applications: Detects metal in raw granules, plastic pellets, or chemical powders.
Benefits of Tablet & Gravity Feed Metal Detectors
- High Precision Detection: Ensures that even the smallest metal fragments are detected.
- Enhanced Product Safety: Prevents contamination, maintaining consumer safety and trust.
- Regulatory Compliance: Adheres to FDA, GMP, and ISO standards, essential for pharmaceutical B2B operations.
- Operational Efficiency: High-speed detection ensures minimal disruption to production lines.
- Customisation: Systems can be tailored to product size, flow rate, and production environment.
Challenges and Considerations
