Improve Processing Performance with Metal Detectors

As an authorised integrator of Sesotec’s metal detection systems, Eclipse Magnetics can deliver advanced magnetic separation and metal detection solutions engineered to meet the specific needs of the food manufacturing, virgin plastic production, and recycled plastics sectors. Our systems help processors achieve the highest levels of product purity, equipment protection, and regulatory compliance across demanding production environments.

Food Industry

Food manufacturers face strict safety requirements and heavy regulatory pressure to ensure products are free from physical contamination. Our magnetic separation and metal detection technologies provide robust protection across all stages of food processing.

We are able to support the food sector by providing:

  • High‑performance contamination removal from Sesotec’s food‑grade metal detectors. These high sensitivity metal detectors identify and remove ferrous, non‑ferrous, and stainless‑steel contaminants from powders, granules, liquids, syrups, and packaged goods.
  • Compliance with global food safety standards. Our systems support adherence to major industry frameworks including FSA, IFS, BRC, and GFSI, with the ability to add ATEX certification for explosive environments.
  • Magnetic separation and metal detection are critical components of a strong HACCP plan, helping processors maintain full traceability and meet stringent audit requirements.
  • Sesotec’s innovative metal detection systems have the ability to detect metal inside the packaged product, allowing the safe disposal of contaminated individual products rather than whole batches.

Whether you're handling raw ingredients or packaged retail goods, our solutions safeguard product quality, protect machinery, reduce recall risk, and ensure consumer safety.

Virgin Plastics

In virgin plastic manufacturing, precision and purity are essential to protect equipment and maintain consistent material quality.

We support virgin plastic producers with:

  • Detection of enclosed contaminants, systems such as the C-SCAN DLS detect and separate all magnetic and non‑magnetic metal contaminants, even those embedded within the product.
  • Machinery protection, our equipment reduces the risk of damage to extruders and blow moulds and unplanned downtime by removing metal contamination before it enters critical processing stages.
  • High‑sensitivity performance for demanding applications, from pneumatic conveying lines to gravity‑fed systems, our metal detection and magnetic separation technologies ensure stable, high‑quality production.

With Eclipse Magnetics, virgin polymer manufacturers achieve consistent product integrity, improved material flow, and longer equipment lifecycles.

Recycled Plastics

The recycled plastics industry faces unique challenges due to highly variable material streams and increased contamination risks. Our solutions help recyclers maximise product purity and profitability.

We provide the recycled plastics sector with:

  • Advanced contaminant removal for complex materials, metal detectors and magnetic separators play a crucial role in removing ferrous and non‑ferrous contaminants from regrind, flakes, and reclaimed materials.
  • Improved sorting efficiency, working alongside Sesotec’s advanced sorting systems, engineered for flake purification, colour sorting, and quality analysis, we help recyclers minimise material loss and maximise end-product quality.
  • Support circular economy goals; by enhancing purity and reducing waste, our systems help processors meet the growing demand for high‑quality recycled polymers in sustainable manufacturing.

Recyclers benefit from reliable contaminant detection and removal that improves throughput, boosts product value, and supports sustainable production targets.
