How a tablet metal detector works
Tablets or capsules fall through a small aperture. If a metal particle passes through, a fast reject removes the affected portion from the stream.
Because tablets are small and move quickly, the aperture, sensitivity and reject path need to suit your product and throughput.

Tablet, capsule or powder, with size.
Units per minute or per hour on the line.
