METTLER TOLEDO systems protect your brand and support consumer safety through a wide range of metal detectors for different types of applications in the processing industry.

Gravity fall metal detectors are specialised industrial metal detectors for the inspection of powdered products, grains, or granules in free fall. Gravity fall metal detection systems efficiently detect and reject contaminants in free-falling powdered and granular products in the food, cosmetics, and chemical industries.

Within a gravity fall system, the product falls freely through the small aperture of the metal detector while the sensor continuously scans the product flow. If metal is detected, an automatic reject mechanism removes the contaminated section before the product continues to the packaging or processing stage. This operating principle enables a high level of sensitivity and the detection of even the smallest metal particles, even at high production speeds.
