Product Safety for Bags & Sack
The MPI CO680 Large Bag Metal Detector is a heavy-duty, high-clearance inspection system purpose-built for detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel contaminants in large-format packaged materials such as oversized bags, boxes, sacks, super sacks, and bulk totes. Engineered for pallet-level scanning and bulk handling environments, the CO680 features a generously sized tunnel aperture and high-penetration, multi-frequency detection technology to inspect dense and voluminous products without compromising sensitivity or speed.
This system is ideal for use at the raw material receiving stage or prior to processing. It acts as a critical checkpoint to intercept contaminants before they enter blending, extrusion, or production lines. Whether installed inline on conveyor-fed systems or as a stationary scanning station for forklift loading, the CO680 ensures comprehensive metal detection coverage for various product types and packaging formats.
With a durable, vibration-resistant frame and IP-rated enclosures, the CO680 withstands tough industrial conditions in food, plastics, chemical, pet food, and grain handling operations. Its intuitive controls, configurable response outputs, and compatibility with advanced controller options make operating and integrating into existing QA programs easy. The CO680 supports compliance with HACCP, GMP, and global food safety standards, helping manufacturers protect product integrity, prevent costly equipment damage, and reduce the risk of recalls due to contamination.

CO680 Large Bag Metal Detector Product Details
The CO680 Large Bag Metal Detector operates as a tunnel-based inspection system positioned along a conveyor line or in a forklift-accessible scanning station. As bulk packaged product—such as a 25 kg bag of flour, 50 lb sack of resin, or palletized dry ingredients—passes through the large rectangular aperture, the system’s electromagnetic coils generate a controlled magnetic field.
When a metallic contaminant (ferrous, non-ferrous, or stainless steel) passes through the field, it causes a disruption. The control unit immediately processes this signal and determines if it exceeds the sensitivity threshold. If confirmed, the system triggers a programmed response such as an audible alarm, light beacon, conveyor stop, or line rejection protocol.
The CO680’s detection settings can be tuned to handle a variety of bulk packaging materials and densities. Its large tunnel ensures thorough inspection of oversized containers while maintaining reliable detection performance and minimizing false positives caused by bag seams, static charge, or product effect.
