Yiwan Metal Detector Safeguards Chang'an Playdough Manufacturer's Product Quality

1. Client Background

A children's creative playdough manufacturer in Chang'an, Dongguan, has been deeply engaged in the industry for years. Its products are renowned for safety and creativity, sold both domestically and overseas. To ensure the safety of children using its products, the enterprise imposed extremely high requirements on metal foreign matter control in the production process, thus needing an efficient and precise metal detection device to guarantee product quality.

2. Pain Points

● Multiple Sources of Foreign Matter Risk: The playdough production involves multiple processes such as raw material mixing, mold forming, and packaging. Metal impurities like iron, copper, and stainless steel can be easily introduced due to equipment wear and raw material entrainment. Once they enter the market, they will seriously threaten children's safety.
● Strict Quality Standards: As the products are for children, they must meet the quality regulations and market trust requirements of "zero tolerance for metal foreign matter" for toys at home and abroad.
● Production Line Adaptability Requirements: The production line operates continuously, so the detection equipment must match the existing production rhythm. Moreover, it should be easy to operate to avoid reduced production efficiency due to equipment complexity.

3. Solution: Yiwan Digital Metal Detector Empowers Precisely

Guangdong Yiwan Testing Technology Co., Ltd. customized a digital metal detector solution for the enterprise, covering detection performance, intelligent functions, and service implementation in all aspects:
(1). Detection Performance Matches Production Scenarios Precisely
● Comprehensive Coverage of Multi-Material Metals: Aiming at the pain points of playdough production, the equipment is configured with a detection tunnel height of 150mm, which can accurately detect:
○ Ferrous metal (Fe) ≥ 1.0mm;
○ Non-ferrous metal (such as copper) ≥ 1.8mm;
○ 304 stainless steel ≥ 2.0mm, fully covering the metal types that may be mixed in the production process.
● Seamless Connection with Production Line Efficiency: The equipment’s conveying speed is adjustable from 25-30m/min, which completely matches the rhythm of the factory's existing production line, ensuring detection efficiency without affecting production capacity.
(2). Intelligent Functions Build a Solid Quality Defense
● Automatic Learning to Adapt to Products: The equipment is equipped with an automatic product effect learning function, which can filter the interference of the playdough itself. Even if the product formula is fine-tuned later, it can be adapted quickly to ensure detection stability.
● Multi-Scenario Parameter Storage: It supports 100 kinds of product parameter memory. If the enterprise expands into categories such as colored clay and ultra-light clay in the future, the detection mode can be switched quickly, reserving space for business expansion.
(3). Customized Services Ensure Implementation Effect
● Hardware Customized Integration: According to the layout of the factory production line, the detection tunnel width and equipment dimensions are customized to realize seamless integration of the equipment and the production line without occupying additional production space.
● Precision Rejection Device: A pusher-type rejection mechanism (air blow, flap, etc. can be customized as needed) is configured to accurately reject products containing metal foreign matter and avoid waste of qualified products due to misjudgment.

4. Implementation Effect

(1).Significant Achievement in Quality Control: After the equipment was put into use, it successfully intercepted multiple metal foreign matter incidents (such as iron filings from mold wear and stainless steel particles entrained in raw materials), and the product inspection pass rate increased to 100%.
(2).Bidirectional Optimization of Cost and Efficiency: The equipment operates stably without failure, reducing rework costs and customer complaint risks caused by quality problems, and indirectly enhancing the brand's trust in the market.
(3).Full Compliance Satisfaction: It fully meets the quality and safety regulations for children's toy products (such as domestic GB standards and EU EN standards), helping the enterprise successfully pass multiple market spot checks and customer factory inspections.
