GMD-S Metal Detector for Sausage Stuffing Lines with Automatic Filling Systems
The GMD-S metal detector is specially optimized for sausage production lines equipped with automatic filling systems. This device offers outstanding performance, ensuring accurate detection of metal contamination even in high-density or high-viscosity food pastes. The GMD-S provides a reliable solution for meeting the strict requirements of product safety and quality control.
Key Features and Advantages
The reliability and efficiency of the GMD-S metal detector are guaranteed by several key features:
- Excellent Metal Detection: Capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel metal contaminants, even when the product is high-density and high-viscosity. This is critically important during sausage production, where the consistency of the mass can pose a challenge for traditional detectors.
- Full Compatibility: Easily integrable with calibration equipment via gear link systems thereby ensuring the precise synchronization of the production line for continuous and uninterrupted operation.
- Mobile and Flexible Design: The mobile structure of the device enables quick and safe installation and ensures simple integration with the most common filling systems.
- Adjustable Height: The input height is adjustable with a hand crank between 950 mm and 1250 mm, guaranteeing compatibility with various production line heights and configurations.

Integration of GMD-S into the Production Line
The primary consideration during the design of the GMD-S metal detector was its seamless integration into the production line. The mobile structure and adjustable height (fine-tuning via a hand crank) allow the detector to be positioned exactly between the filling system and the next processing step.
A
pneumatic connection (max. 6 bar, filtered, dry air) ensures fast and reliable operation, especially when used with the optional pneumatic rejection system. The
IP69K protection rating Guarantees that the equipment withstands rigorous hygienic requirements-compliant, high-pressure cleaning procedures, which is essential in the meat processing industry.
Including the filler machine control cable and providing the specific connector simplifies electrical and control integration, provided the exact type of filler machine to be connected is specified when ordering.
Additional Food Safety Solutions
The GMD-S metal detector can be optionally supplemented with other inspection and automation systems that optimize food safety and efficiency on sausage production lines:
- GCW-40ST Static Checkweigher System: Modular design with automatic product feeding via a conveyor belt, ideal for industrial weighing solutions, easily adaptable to any production or packaging line.
- GCW-50ST Static Checkweigher Scale: Precise and modular system with a weighing carriage, offering up to 30 kg capacity. Integrable with software and ERP systems, with an optional rejection system for maximum efficiency.
- GMD-T Metal Detector: It features an integrated conveyor belt and an automatic rejection system that ensures precise multi-frequency inspection. Compliant with IFS/BRC standards, it is fully customizable for maximum quality control and traceability.
Together, these accessory systems form a comprehensive inspection network that ensures products meet the highest quality and safety requirements at every stage of production.
