Metal detection should improve efficiency: 3 simple installation requirements that increase opera

TORONTO - Jan. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- It’s time to use the manual and setup correctly

In goes without saying that any piece of industrial equipment should be setup according to the manual.  The problem often comes from changes made over time that have altered the systems configuration.  Industrial metal detectors are very sensitive devices that can often be interrupted by external factors.  Simple changes to line configurations often introduce changes that can randomly set off the metal detector.  The Goring Kerr brand of metal detection systems offer some built in compensation for these types of changes.  The challenge for food manufactures like the bakery industry is to determine when metal rejections occur for the right reason.

Regular quality control testing of the DSP 3 metal detector is essential for the overall production line performance.  Having a regular schedule of testing, such as 3 times daily, allows for trend analysis of the metal contaminants in your food.  Lets take an example of how to test the Goring Kerr DSP 3 metal detector, found in the back of the user manual.  A bakery company has several production lines each with their own metal detector.  The main bread line has a conveyor metal detector at the end of the line just before the slicer.  The muffin line also has a detection system installed just after the knife machine.  Prior to these installations there is a metal detector installed on the dough line to capture metal fragments early in the process.  With regular testing the bread company would track the average number of rejects for each of the three systems.  Over time a standard number of rejects would develop and begin to determine the baseline for the plant.  If any of the metal detectors reject higher than normal levels warning signals are picked up and further investigation is taken.

How to use the Goring Kerr DSP 3 manual correctly?

Here is where things usually fail.  When metal reject levels increase the quality control department or maintenance team look solely at the product as the source of the problem.  Rarely do they look beyond this or search for other potential problems.  The Goring Kerr manual outlines a number of installation, both electrical and mechanical, requirements for peak performance.  Start at the beginning of the manual and go step by step to make sure that all requirements are met.  Missing any of these steps will usually result in erratic performance.

Conclusion

When buying a used Goring Kerr DSP 3 metal detector or diagnosing one in operation check the manual first.  These simple step-by-step instructions will lead you through the correct way to install and operate an industrial metal detector. http://goring-kerr.com/manual/goring-kerr-dsp-3-manual
