Test Stick Kit

Metal Detector Test Stick Kit — Certified Test Pieces

A complete, ready-to-use set of certified test pieces for routine verification of industrial metal detection systems. The kit covers the ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel sensitivities a production line is normally checked against, so a single case holds everything a QA team needs for a full verification round.

Every test piece is supplied with its corresponding traceability certificate, so each piece can be matched to its documentation during an audit or a customer inspection.

How the kit is used in a quality control routine

Most food processing HACCP plans require the metal detector to be verified with all three standard contaminant types — ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel — at start-up, at each shift change and after any change to product, packaging or detector settings. Having the full size range on hand in one case means the QA team can run that routine without hunting for a single missing piece, and can step up or down a size when a line is re-qualified or a customer specification changes. Each piece carries its own number, so the result written in the log can always be traced back to the exact test piece that produced it during a retailer or certification audit.

Individual pieces are also available separately as test wands, flexible test wands and test balls — see all certified metal detector test pieces.

Certificate included

Every Detectronic test piece in this range is supplied with its corresponding traceability certificate. The certificate records the material, the test sphere size and a unique certificate number, so the physical test piece you hold can always be matched to its documentation.

The unique certificate number is marked on the test piece itself, which is what makes the link between the piece and its paperwork defensible during an audit or a customer inspection.
