Pharmaceutical Metal Detector

Reliably identify and reject tablets and capsules containing metallic contaminants. Help protect product quality across pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing.

Metal Detector Machines for Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals

Using electromagnetic induction, these metal detection systems scan bulk tablets, capsules, and packaged products for metallic particles or fragments that may go unnoticed during manual visual checks. They’re also typically equipped with rejection functions that automatically discard each contaminated piece from the production line.

Anxine offers two of the most common industrial metal detection setups: gravity-fall and conveyor metal detectors. Designed for high detection sensitivity and stable operation, our machines help identify metallic contaminants while reducing false rejects. Some models can intercept ferrous contaminants as small as 0.2 mm.

Detects and rejects metal contaminants in bottled or jarred products using high-accuracy inline conveyor scanning and pneumatic rejection.

Conveyor Belt Metal Detector CSJ-990

Conveyor Belt Metal Detector CSJ-990

Delivers fast, precise inline metal detection with automatic rejection and full belt integration. Ideal for both loose and packaged products.

What Sets Our Inline Metal Detectors Apart

Whether used as standalone units or integrated into existing production lines, Anxine inspection systems reliably identify and reject metal-contaminated products to support regulatory compliance.

Diverse Mechanical Integration

Flexible configurations, from adjustable gravity-fall systems and side-grip conveyors, allow easy adaptation to different production layouts.

Zero Downtime Rejection

High-speed diverter flaps, pneumatic lateral pushers, or air blasts isolate contaminated units in microseconds without stopping the machine.

Dynamic Product Effect Compensation

Smart tracking algorithms automatically compensate for variations in material moisture and environmental conditions to reduce false-reject alarms.

Tool-Less Sanitary Construction

Washdown-ready stainless steel housings and food-grade conveyor belts support easy cleaning routines and ensure strict compliance with FDA sanitation standards.

FAQs about Pharmaceutical Metal Detectors

You should test your machine using certified test pieces before starting any new batch. Hourly checks throughout the shift are also recommended. Additionally, every time you switch to a different product or the production line is stopped and restarted, you need to perform a retest.
High moisture levels in your product and physical vibrations from surrounding equipment are the main culprits. You should also check for electromagnetic interference from nearby motors. Upgrading to a system with dynamic tracking capabilities helps ignore these environmental changes and prevents unnecessary waste.
Yes, they can. High-precision equipment easily identifies tiny stainless steel fragments hidden deep inside your capsules or finished packages. You can rely on these sensitive systems to catch broken screen meshes or worn machine parts before they ever leave your facility.
Yes. Larger inspection apertures generally reduce detection sensitivity because the magnetic field becomes less concentrated. You should select the smallest possible tunnel that safely fits your product for the best performance.
