CMD Metal Detection System

For pharmaceutical and nutraceutical bottles, the CMD metal detection system features bottle handling with optional reject and reject verification systems.

By integrating an NJM raised-bed conveyor with a third party metal detector head, there is no need for bottle transfers. The CMD delivers a tablet entrapment free design to help manufacturers and contract packers ensure product safety and avoid costly product recalls.

Ideal for tablets, capsules, powders, and liquid products, this versatile system can handle round, oval, square, and rectangular bottles made of plastic or glass from 1.5 to 7.9 in. (38 to 200 mm) in height and from 0.6 to 5.5 in. (16 to 140 mm) in diameter. NJM can equip the CMD with a metal detector head from a variety of vendors. Heads with multi-simultaneous frequency operation are available for customers handling a wide range of product types.

Featuring an open frame, removable top and bottom conveyor chain wear strips, no tablet entrapment zones, no exposed wires, and a sloped top electrical cabinet, this cGMP-compliant system offers quick and easy line clearance and inspection to help eliminate the chance of cross contamination.

Built with a heavy-duty, stainless-steel frame, the CMD provides repeatable performance, low maintenance, and rugged reliability.

The CMD can be equipped with a separating wheel, starwheel or feedscrew spacing device, depending on the bottle shapes and sizes being handled. For package rejection, the CMD can stop the line while sounding an alarm or can be equipped with an optional reject table or reject conveyor to automatically eject ‘bad’ packages from the line.
