Gordon Wood, section leader for handling at Garbuio Dickinson, a world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of innovative tobacco processing equipment and control systems, commented: "We chose the DSP3 gravity feed metal detector for its advanced technology, sensitivity and performance benefits.
In addition, the vertical design is better suited to our production environment as it eliminates the need for an accompanying band conveyor.
In today's price-driven world and with customers demanding increasingly shorter lead times, anything that helps prevent damage to expensive processing equipment and so reduce downtime is worth its weight in gold.
We also have a very good relationship with Thermo; the service and support provided are excellent".
The Goring Kerr DSP3 gravity feed metal detector from Thermo is able to inspect a wide range of free flowing products.
As well as being easy to install, the hygienic, space-saving design ensures straight through flow, with no crevices or traps, and a fast acting reject system that ensures minimal product loss on detection of any contaminant.
