| Abstract: | The paper deals with the latest equipment available for the detection of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals in dairy products. The basic principle of the equipment is described and deals with both the metal detector, the conveyor and its associated automatic rejection system. A detection equipment which can sense the presence of ferrous metal in foil-wrapped goods is also described. A summary of the activity on the development of a foreign body detection using 'soft' X-rays is also dealt with, and the performance of the system on foreign bodies such as metal, glass and stone is quantified. |
