When you are outfitting a food or packaging line with metal detection, the real buying decision is not just "which detector?" It is whether a used conveyor-mounted unit will deliver the reliability you need, or whether a new digital machine with stainless construction and adjustable belt speed is worth the higher listed price. Across the four systems below, listed prices run from USD 1,167.95 to USD 6,256.00. That is a spread of USD 5,088.05. The choices range from a working used Mettler Toledo conveyor to a fully digital metal detector with a touchscreen control panel.
Quick Take
If your immediate goal is the lowest listed price, the used Mettler Toledo DMS 20 + EGK48-60NV EG Metal Detector Conveyor Belt is the entry point. If you want a used stainless system with the Loma IQ+ control/display and a stand and guide included, the Loma IQ+ is the middle option. For new equipment, the HayWHNKN 110V conveyor and the CHONGYTTUO industrial digital machine are the two new options, with the digital unit carrying the larger belt and more complete operator interface.

Product Notes
Mettler Toledo DMS 20 + EGK48-60NV EG Metal Detector Conveyor Belt
The Mettler Toledo DMS 20 + EGK48-60NV EG Metal Detector Conveyor Belt has the lowest listed price in this comparison. The listing describes the unit as in working condition with good external condition, and the notes mention discoloration and ink marks. If you are comfortable using inspected used hardware and want to keep the initial outlay low, this is the natural starting point. The trade-off is visible cosmetic wear: the product shows discoloration and ink marks, so the used condition is part of the buying decision. For a production line where appearance matters less than a working detection conveyor, this is the most direct way to get a Mettler Toledo system at the lowest shown price.
Industrial Digital Metal Detector Conveyor Belt Food Metal Detection Machine
The Industrial Digital Metal Detector Conveyor Belt Food Metal Detection Machine from CHONGYTTUO is the most expensive unit in this group. It is also a new machine with a detailed spec list: 304 stainless steel body, 450mm food-grade PU belt, adjustable belt speed from 20 to 40 meters per minute, digital signal processing with a phase-adaptive system, 7-inch touchscreen, and a three-color tower light with audible buzzer. Choose it when you want a new digital inline detector with a stainless food-contact surface and a modern operator interface. The limitation is the listed price and overall size; the conveyor length is 1600mm, so it is a large piece of equipment for a processing line.
Industrial Food Conveyor Belt Metal Detector 110V 400mm Width Fe Φ≥1.0mm
The Industrial Food Conveyor Belt Metal Detector from HayWHNKN is listed with a 110V input, a 400mm belt width, and a stated iron detection threshold of Fe Φ≥1.0mm. Its model is SA-990, and it is described as capable of detecting iron, copper, aluminum, and stainless steel, which makes it a fit for food, agricultural product processing, and packaging lines. The reason to choose it is the combination of a new 400mm conveyor with a specific iron sensitivity figure at a lower listed price than the CHONGYTTUO machine. The limitation is that the title's concrete threshold applies to iron, while the description covers non-ferrous and stainless detection in general terms.
Loma IQ+ Stainless Steel Industrial Metal Detector Conveyor Food Inspection Syst
The Loma IQ+ Stainless Steel Industrial Metal Detector Conveyor Food Inspection Syst is the mid-priced used option in this group. It is made in the United States and includes the Loma IQ+ control/display, a stainless steel stand/frame, and a plastic guide/chute shown in photos. Choose it if you want a used system with stainless hardware and a Loma IQ+ control display rather than the lower-cost Mettler Toledo conveyor. The limitation is the used condition: the components are described as included, and the price sits between the Mettler Toledo and the two new machines, so you are accepting a pre-owned unit.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
Choose the Mettler Toledo DMS 20 + EGK48-60NV EG Metal Detector Conveyor Belt if your priority is the lowest listed price and you can accept a used conveyor with cosmetic wear.
Choose the Loma IQ+ Stainless Steel Industrial Metal Detector Conveyor Food Inspection Syst if you want a used stainless system with the Loma IQ+ control/display and included guide/chute.
Choose the Industrial Food Conveyor Belt Metal Detector 110V 400mm Width Fe Φ≥1.0mm if you need a new 110V unit with a 400mm belt and a stated iron detection threshold.
Choose the Industrial Digital Metal Detector Conveyor Belt Food Metal Detection Machine if your budget is at the top of the range and you want a new digital detector with stainless construction, adjustable speed, and touchscreen operation.
