Aluminium Foil Metal Detector for Foil Packs

Metal detector for aluminium foil packaging. Detects ferrous and stainless steel contamination inside foil pouches, tins and alu-sealed packs where standard detectors fail.
Detection
01

Product Overview

The TrueCare Aluminium Foil Metal Detector is designed for products packed in metallised film, aluminium foil pouches, alu-alu blisters and tins, where a standard metal detector would reject every pack. It uses a magnetic-field (ferrous-in-foil)
detection principle that ignores the aluminium packaging and finds ferrous and magnetic stainless steel contaminants inside. This lets you inspect after final packing, the last point of control before dispatch. Typical products include chips and namkeen in metallised bags, coffee and tea in foil pouches, chocolates, ready-to-eat retort pouches and alu-packed pharmaceuticals.

Applications

These systems are critical in industries where products must be protected from light, moisture, or oxygen using metallized packaging:

  • Pharmaceutical & Medical: Inspecting foil blister packs containing tablets, capsules, or medical devices to ensure no broken punch pins, needles, or stray metal fragments were sealed inside.
  • Food & Confectionery (Foil-Packed):
    • Screening ready-to-eat meals, retort pouches, and vacuum-packed meats sealed in aluminium foil.
    • Inspecting chocolate bars, butter, cheese blocks, and dried snacks wrapped in metallized wrappers or foil paper.
  • Chemical & Consumer Goods: Checking foil-sealed sachets of powders, cosmetics, wipes, or chemical additives before final cartooning.
