Ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel contaminants — caught before the product leaves your plant. We supply and install Thermo Scientific and Fortress Technology metal detection systems for packaged, bulk, pumped and free-fall products.
A metal detector is the first line of defence in any HACCP plan and a standard requirement of BRC, IFS and FSSC 22000 audits. The right system depends on your product: dry snacks and bakery are easy; wet meat, cheese and products in metallised film create a strong 'product effect' that fools single-frequency detectors. That is where multi-frequency (Sentinel Multiscan) and divided-frequency (Fortress Interceptor) technology pays for itself in fewer false rejects.
AG Engineering specifies the aperture size, frequency, conveyor and reject device for your exact line, delivers CE-marked equipment, installs it, validates sensitivity with certified test pieces and trains your operators. One contract, one point of responsibility.
One metal detection platform for every task — from the cost-effective APEX 100 to the validation-ready pharmaceutical APEX 500 Rx. Housings up to IP69K, and the APEX Upgrade programme modernises legacy detectors without replacing the conveyor.
Up to five scanning frequencies at once — Sentinel finds what single-frequency units miss: contaminants in wet, chilled and high product-effect goods. Fewer false rejects, higher real-world sensitivity.
Fortress's flagship conveyor metal detector for packaged and bulk products. Pipeline, Gravity, Meat Pump and Vertex variants cover pumped lines, free-fall applications and vertical packaging.
Divided Frequency technology masters strong product effect: wet meat, cheese, goods in metallised film. Less false rejection means less product loss.

Wet, salty and chilled products conduct electricity and imitate metal. Choose a multi-frequency system (Thermo Sentinel Multiscan) or a divided-frequency detector (Fortress Interceptor DF). They separate the product signal from the contaminant signal and cut false rejects dramatically.
Typical values for a conveyor detector on packaged food are 1.0–1.5 mm ferrous, 1.5–2.0 mm non-ferrous and 2.0–2.5 mm stainless steel, depending on aperture size and product. We verify the achievable sensitivity with your product before you commit.
Yes. We deliver, mechanically and electrically install, commission, validate with certified test pieces and hand over the documentation your auditors require. Service and spare parts are available across the EU.
Send us a short description of your project — capacity, product, site — and we will come back with a first technical proposal within a few working days.
