Original Press Release:



New Ultra-Thin Compact Metal Detector



Leading inspection equipment manufacturer, Lock Inspection Systems, now offers the thinnest metal detector available, the MET30+ V3 Waferthin. Only three inches thick, the V3 Waferthin is a wide diameter detector with a compact design, allowing it to fit tight parameters, while still satisfying sensitivity requirements.

Designed for installation in high-speed packaging systems, the V3 Waferthin provides exceptional sensitivity for snack, confectionery, and pharmaceutical products. Compared to other metal detectors on the market which are six to 12 inches wide, Lock's V3 Waferthin detector case has a super thin three inch through put dimension allowing it to be mounted after the filler spout, just prior to foil pouch or metal can packaging.

Custom-built to suit customers' specifications, Lock's V3 Waferthin accurately detects and rejects contaminated particles. Units can quickly and easily be moved for product or package changeovers - reducing downtime while maintaining the highest standard of quality control.

A remote control system provides user-friendly operation for times when the unit must fit into hard-to-reach areas. Electronics are mounted directly on the metal detector search head, and are easily accessible from a remote keypad. This saves valuable line space in the scale and bagging machine, and eliminates the need for a mounted enclosure.

Based in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and Oldham, UK, Lock Inspection Systems supplies metal detection and checkweighing equipment to food and pharmaceutical manufacturers worldwide. A global network of offices and distributors enables Lock to deliver the highest standards of customer service and after sales care.
