Metal detector for the pharmaceutical industry PHARMATRON 07 HQ
The highly sensitive mobile gravity free-fall style metal detector PHARMATRON 07 HQ is primarily designed for the pharmaceutical industry. It is designed for the examination of pills and capsules. It fits almost every tablet press.
The detector is fully automatic, equipped with a high-speed reject flap that instantly diverts the contaminant from the product stream and minimizes the loss of a good product. Incredible sensitivity and reject speed allows up to 2 000 000 pills/hour to be processed!
The PHARMATRON 07 HQ Clean detector is mobile and height-adjustable. Its individual parts can be dismantled without tools.
The PHARMATRON 07 is a synonym for metal detectors with the highest detection accuracy and reliability.The detector coil has several layers of shielding. This makes the detector immune to external electromagnetic interference, allowing for extremely accurate metal detection. It can separate metal particles from 0.2 mm!
It is made of stainless steel with an emphasis on hygienic design.It meets the strictest hygiene requirements required in the pharmaceutical industry. All parts being in contact with the material comply with the FDA standard.
Hygienic design and extreme sensitivity make the PHARMTRON 07 HQ the absolute top detector for the pharmaceutical industry.
This detector is equipped with a first-rate AMD 07 control unit with a range of advanced features. The unit is fitted with a touch screen, so its operation is simple and intuitive.It enables permanent monitoring of electronic and mechanical parts. The mesuNET system arranges for remote maintenance and network integration of the device.
Principle advantages of a metal detector
- Mobile metal detector for tablets/film coated tablets. The highest hygienic standard thanks to covering and separating mechanis made of AISI 3161 stainless steel. All parts entering the contact with the product can be disassembled quickly without the use of the tools so that optimum and easy cleaning is possible. Pipeline diameter DN50. All metal particles are detected and it is both off-shell particles and the ones in the form of inclusions in the end product. Quick decontamination of all parts entering the contact with products being checked.
- Suitable for any sort of tabletting or dust-collecting appliance.
- High capacity thanks to DN50 round connecting flange.

Sensitivity of a metal detector
The detector sensitivity depends on many parameters, such as the aperture diameter (the smaller the aperture, the higher the sensitivity), the material speed, the density of the product, its temperature, humidity, etc.
Maximum obtainable sensitivity can be established by testing your product sample in our laboratory. We will perform these tests free of charge. Please contact us, we will discuss the test execution as well as the dispatch of your material samples.17.03.2022
