Product Overview
This **Capsule Metal Detector** is a specialized high-precision inspection system engineered exclusively for the pharmaceutical industry, designed to detect metal contaminants in hard capsules, softgels, tablets, and small pharmaceutical pills. Built to meet strict GMP and pharmaceutical safety standards, it delivers ultra-sensitive detection of ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, even in small or low-density products. Its compact, hygienic design with a mobile stand ensures seamless integration into pharmaceutical production lines while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Key Features & Core Benefits
- Ultra-High Sensitivity Detection: Identifies tiny ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel
contaminants in small capsules/tablets, ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance.
- GMP & Pharmaceutical Grade Compliance: Constructed with food-grade 304 stainless
steel and hygienic components, meeting strict pharmaceutical industry standards for cleanliness
and safety.
- Compact & Adjustable Mobile Design: Space-saving mobile stand with adjustable height
and angle, ideal for integration into limited-space pharmaceutical production environments.
- Automatic Precision Rejection: Equipped with a specialized reject mechanism to divert
contaminated capsules/tablets without disrupting production flow.
- User-Friendly Touchscreen HMI: Intuitive multi-language interface with product recipe storage,
real-time monitoring, and self-diagnostic functions for simplified quality control.
- Anti-Interference Performance: Advanced signal processing minimizes false rejects caused by
product variations, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
Wide Applications
This capsule metal detector is tailored for industries requiring pharmaceutical-grade metal inspection:
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Hard capsules, softgels, tablets, and prescription medications
- Nutraceutical & Supplement Industry: Vitamin capsules, herbal supplement tablets, and dietary supplement pills
- Healthcare Products: Small medical devices and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products requiring metal contamination control
How It Works
1. Product Feeding: Capsules/tablets enter the detector’s dedicated inspection zone via the feeding
mechanism.
2. Contaminant Detection: The high-frequency sensor scans each product to identify metal contaminas.
3. Signal Verification: Advanced signal processing distinguishes between actual metal contaminants
and product variations to reduce false rejects.
4. Automatic Rejection: If contaminants are detected, the precision reject system activates to divert
the non-conforming product into a separate collection bin.
5. Qualified Product Flow: Acceptable capsules/tablets continue along the production line for packaging
or further processing.
Customization Options
- Custom feeding systems tailored to different capsule sizes and production speeds
- Specialized reject mechanisms (air blast, diverter chute) designed for fragile pharmaceutical products
- Validation-ready versions with documentation support for pharmaceutical compliance audits
- Remote monitoring and connectivity options for integration with plant control systems
Specification:
| Model | FA-MD-M | |||

| Detection Height(mm) | 20mm | 25mm | 35mm | |
| Sensitivity | Fe(mm) | |||
| SUS304(mm) | ||||
| Display Mode | Touch Screen | |||
| Product Storage | 100 kinds | |||
| Tunnel Material | Food grade plexiglass | |||
| Test Coil and Shell | Stainless Steel 304 | |||
| Product Contact Part Material | Stainless Steel 316 | |||

Note:
1. The technical parameter above namely is the result of sensitivity by detecting only the test sample on the belt. The sensitivity would be affected according to the products being detected, working condition and also the different positions the metal mixed with.
2. Requirements for different sizes by customers can be fulfilled.
