World leaders in metal detection....

Safeline's claim to be the world leaders in industrial metal detection is neither marketing hype or an extravagent claim - they have the facts to support it. Today they hold almost 30% of the global metal detection market and sell 65% more detector heads than their nearest competitor.

Effective metal detection systems are a necessity for every food and pharmaceutical manufacturer safeguarding consumers, protecting manufacturer brands and assisting in conformance to regulatory requirements. Nobody understands these requirements better than Safeline.

A Safeline for every application

• Throat metal detection for vertical form fill seal machines
• Conveyor metal detection with customised handling & rejection
• Pipeline detectors for liquids and slurries
• Pharmaceutical systems for high speed tablet inspection and for free falling bulk materials
• Gravity fall detectors for bulk powders and granules - commonly used in the flour / milling industries

Safeline systems are available in stainless steel or painted steel finish, and with protection from dust and water ingress up to IP66 standards (NEMA 4).

In 2005 Safeline increased their technological lead over their competitors, with further improvements in the detection of all types of metal, including the normally difficult to detect non magnetic stainless steel. Detection of non spherical objects such as wire and swarf is also significantly improved. It is quite simply the ultimate for sensitivity, robustness and ease of use for food industry applications.

A major advantage for customers in the Gulf region are Safeline's Auto Balance Control and self correcting electronics, which eliminate the effects of temperature, humidity and ageing. This cuts out the need for maintenance and adjustment, thus reducing the risk of operator error.

Safeline metal detectors can be set to indicate when performance testing is due; Test data is then time and date stamped and an optional hard copy may be printed.

A Safeline throat metal detector can require as little as 250 mm of vertical installation space between a multi-head weigher and the forming tube or "throat" of a vertical form, fill and seal machine. On detection of contaminants the metal detector signals the packaging machine to stop, make a double bag or alternatively operate a synchronised automatic reject device positioned further down the line.

The pharmaceutical industry demands the very highest levels of metal detection sensitivity. Safeline deliver nothing less. Their Tablex series is an integrated ultra-high performance compact metal detection and rejection system designed primarily for the in-line inspection of tablets and capsules.

Designed to detect the minutest particles of metal such as stainless steel sieve wire and metal flakes from the punch and die sets of tablet presses the Safeline system is manufactured to meet the stringent hygiene standards of the pharmaceutical industry. Sealed to IP65 and constructed from mirror polished stainless steel and food grade plastic all parts in contact can be removed for cleaning without special tools

Al Thika Packaging LLC have supplied over 300 Safeline systems throughout the Gulf, with conveyor, throat type and pipeline installations in Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Kuwait, Egypt and Oman. Our staff have been trained at Safeline's UK headquarters and we carry stocks of critical spare parts.

We also have the facility to test your products on our demonstration systems in Dubai, or can arrange for testing on specific types of Safeline detector in the UK.

If you require metal detection as part of your manufacturing process, please call us for professional advice regarding your application. No two customers' requirements are alike and we take great care to specify and build Safeline systems to meet your demands precisely.
