Metal Detector Validation

Independent metal detector validation for Utah food manufacturers, with certified ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel testing and an audit-ready report for every unit.

Your metal detector is a critical control, and auditors want proof that it works on the products you actually run. We test each detector the way an auditor expects and give you a clear, defensible report.

What's included

• Sensitivity testing with certified ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel test samples
• Testing in your real products, including the hardest-to-inspect ones, so product effect is accounted for
• Worst-case positioning, passing test samples through the center of the aperture
• Reject system checks at normal line speed, including reject timing and confirmation
• Fail-safe checks for alarms and belt stops where your system has them
• A full audit-ready report for each unit, ready for FDA, USDA, SQF, and BRCGS audits

When to validate

• At least once a year
• When a detector is installed or moved
• After major repairs, part replacements, or software updates
• When you add a new product, package type, or line speed
• When a customer or certification body requires it

Pricing

$650 for the first unit and $250 for each additional unit validated on the same visit. Annual service contracts save 5 to 20 percent. See pricing for details.
