What Our Clients Are Saying

Capsule Metal Detectors

A capsule metal detector is an inline inspection system that identifies ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contamination in products as they move through production. Shawpak Systems Ltd supplies and installs these systems for food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and industrial facilities across North America, with dedicated support in Oakville, Ontario and beyond.

Contamination detection is not optional in food and pharmaceutical production. A single metal fragment reaching a consumer creates liability, regulatory violation, and brand damage. Shawpak Systems has worked with facility managers and operations directors since 1984 to embed the right detection technology into their lines, ensuring products meet safety standards before they leave the plant.

What problems does detection equipment solve on the production line?

Metal fragments enter product streams through worn machinery, broken tools, or material handling equipment. Without inline detection, these contaminants reach packaging and potentially consumers. The cost of a product recall far exceeds the investment in proper inspection equipment. Detection systems catch these failures before they become crises, protecting your facility's reputation and your customers' safety.

Beyond contamination prevention, these systems reduce manual inspection labor and provide documented evidence of quality control for audits and regulatory compliance. Because your line runs continuously, automated detection works 24/7 without fatigue or human error.

How does detection equipment integrate into existing production in Oakville and across North America?

Shawpak Systems approaches every installation as a consultation, not a transaction. Your production speed, product density, line geometry, and existing conveyor setup all determine which system works. Some facilities need compact units that fit tight spaces; others require high-throughput systems for large-scale operations. Our technical team evaluates your line on-site, recommends the right equipment, and handles installation to minimize downtime.

We also provide on-site training so your operators understand sensitivity settings, calibration, and troubleshooting. Our Centre of Excellence demonstration facility in Oakville allows decision-makers to see equipment in action before committing. This hands-on approach means your team operates the system confidently from day one.

What support comes after installation?

Equipment fails or drifts out of calibration. When it does, you need rapid response. Shawpak Systems maintains dedicated parts inventory and certified technicians across Canada and the USA. We stock common wear items, sensors, and replacement components so repairs do not stretch into days. Our after-sales support includes preventive maintenance schedules, calibration checks, and emergency service to keep your line running.

Because we are the exclusive North American distributor for our partner manufacturers, we have direct access to technical resources and genuine parts. This relationship means faster diagnostics and more reliable fixes than working through third-party service providers.

What separates professional detection systems from basic alternatives?

Industrial-grade detection equipment differs from consumer-level systems in sensitivity, reliability, and documentation. Professional systems detect smaller contaminants, operate in wet or extreme temperature environments, and log detection events for audit trails. They also integrate with your existing quality management and line control systems, feeding real-time data to your production dashboard.

Shawpak Systems supplies systems built for food processing, pharmaceutical, and meat processing operations where downtime and product loss carry high cost. These are not simplified tools; they are engineered to the standard your facility requires.

Why choose a distributor with technical depth and local presence?

Buying equipment from a catalog is simple; making it work in your facility is different. A distributor who understands your industry, visits your site, and stands behind the system through installation and beyond reduces risk and increases the return on your investment. Shawpak Systems has served manufacturing and food processing facilities for decades, building relationships on reliability and expertise rather than price alone.

If your facility operates in food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, meat processing, or any industrial environment where metal contamination poses a risk, Shawpak Systems is ready to discuss your detection needs.

We listen to your challenges and recommend solutions that fit your line, your budget, and your compliance requirements.
