sensitive, compliant, and futureready metal detection platform from Mettler-Toledo to date. Even with these new and advanced features and functionality, ease of use has remained at the centre of the design.
Built around three core pillars of performance, productivity, and protection, the M50 R-Series supports manufacturers in delivering safer products by detecting the smallest of metal contaminants, keeping good products moving, and protecting more than just the product.
Delivering advanced detection performance
The M50 R-Series introduces a range of new technology innovations developed to increase detection sensitivity and deliver safer products for different applications. Technologies such as eDrive PLUS when combined with 900 kHz frequency, improves the field strength to deliver the highest sensitivity to detect the smallest wire and non-spherical metal contaminants. Cuttingedge algorithms such as 3S PLUS combined with AI-based machine learning help achieve maximum sensitivity to minimise the risk of product recalls and deliver safer products.
Metal detectors in the series include:
• M55R – optimised for detecting significantly smaller, irregularshaped metal contaminants in dry products such as pasta, savoury snacks and deep frozen produce( where thawing does not occur).
• M55RB – optimised for bulk products such as large sacks, bags of powder and cartons. Radio Frequency Interference( RFI) shields filter out external interference in large aperture applications, increasing metal detection sensitivity. The innovative coil geometry delivers consistent detection performance in busy production environments
• M56R – optimised for challenging applications such chilled, wet, dry, deep frozen / thawing and metalized film-wrapped products. It incorporates Multi-Simultaneous Frequency, an enhanced 3S PLUS algorithm to minimise
