Mineba Intec’s new Mitus metal detector uses MiWave technology to reduce false rejects and ensure high product quality, assisting check weighing processes in the meat substitute industry.

Mitus in combination with MiWave technology enables precise detection of metallic foreign bodies even with the largest product effects, which can occur frequently, especially with meat-type products.

With MiWave, a multitude of frequencies are modulated onto the transmitted signal, which are then separated and evaluated separately by an intelligent algorithm. With the help of this separation, the products can be inspected symbolically from several perspectives. Due to this significantly increased information content, high search sensitivities can be achieved despite large product effects. The result for producers: maximum product safety and maximum output.

Mitus can also be easily combined with additional weighing technology if required.

The Mitus is available in standard sizes as a rectangular, round or compact detection coil as well as a free-fall and pipeline application, so that it can be integrated into production facilities even where space is limited and depending on requirements.
