We were running into false rejections on dense, heavily salted product lines where standerd units just couldn't filter out the product effect—basically everything flagged as metal when it wasn't, which killed throughput and wasted good materail.
What this does is use the DSP to actually differentiate between the product signal and a real contaminant, so we're not dumping perfectly fine batches just because the sauce has high iron content or the frozen block is too conductive.

Detection sensitivity runs from 0.5mm up to 4.0mm for ferrous, 1.0 to 5.5mm for stainles—which is tighter than the old analog stuff we had—and the tunnel is customizable from 300 to 600mm, so we can match it to our existing conveyor width without reconfiguring the whole line.

The LCD touchscreen, by the way, stores over 100 product profiles and switches between Chinese and English, which saves setup time when we swap runs between the bakery and the pharma side (usually 2-3 minutes per changeover instead of 15).

One thing that caught my attention is the automatic flap rejection system—it's mechancial, so it's not great for fragile items like cookies or soft cakes that could break on impact, but for heavy blocks and dense pastes it works fine.
We've got about 4-6 weeks lead time on the custom tunnel size, and they offer IP65 as an option if we need washdown capability, but for dry applications the standard shielding is enough—just confirm the votage specs when we place the order.
Our MOQ for the AEC500C is typically 1 unit for standard customizations like tunnel size or power supply. For highly specialized configurations, we may ask for a minimum of 5 units, but we'll confirm based on your exact specs.
For a tunnel size like 500mm, lead time is usually 4-6 weeks from order confirmation. This includes custom fabrication, testing, and CE certification checks, but we can expedite to 3 weeks for urgent orders.
Yes, every AEC500C ships with CE and HACCP certificates, plus a GMP compliance statement. These are accepted by EU authorities for food and pharma imports, so you're covered for export.
Yes, the DSP technology keeps sensitivity at 1.0mm for SUS even with heavy products, as long as the product effect is calibrated. For very dense items, we may tweak the coil setup to maintain that accuracy.
The standard unit is IP54, but we offer an IP65 upgrade option for wet areas like food processing lines. Just specify it when ordering, and we'll seal the electronics and connectors accordingly.
