We've been running these VMF units in food lines for years, and the 0.8mm ferrous sensitivity is what actually catches the tiny wire fragments that other detectors miss—it's not just a number on a spec sheet.
The stainles steel construction holds up well in wet environments, and the adjustable sensitivity means you can dial it back for dense products like frozen meat blocks or crank it up for dry pasta without false alarms.
Basically, the alarm triggers a choice of rejection systems—push rod for small packs, flap drop for bags, or belt stop for heavy items—and we usually have stock on the VMF-2 and VMF-3, but the VMF-5 with teh 300mm tunnel can take 4-6 weeks lead time (check before ordering).
Most buyers go with the VMF-2 for standerd 200mm conveyor widths, but if you're running bulk bags or irregular shapes, the VMF-6 with the wider tunnel is easier to handle.
It's not ideal for very wet or conductive products like fresh meat blocks without a balanced coil option—that's a different conversation, but for dry packaged goods it's pretty much plug-and-play.
push rod rejection is better than flap drop for high-speed lines, and we've seen it handle up to 60 packs per minute without jamming, though your actual throughput depends on product spacing.
The VMF model comes in tunnel heights from 120mm to 300mm and widths from 200mm to 400mm, depending on the specific version you choose.
Yes, all VMF machines are CE and ISO certified, and we can provide those documents along with your shipment.
We typically require a MOQ of 1 unit for the VMF series, so you can order just one machine if that's what you need.
You can choose between push rod, flap drop, or belt stop rejection systems—it depends on your packaging line setup and product type.
For stainless steel (SUS), sensitivity ranges from 1.4mm to 2.5mm, while ferrous (Fe) detection goes from 0.8mm to 2.0mm, depending on the model and tunnel size.
