Metal Detecting Aperture Style Conveyors

Description

Highest levels of Accuracy – The exceptional degree of accuracy provided by an aperture style metal detection system makes it an excellent choice when extremely accurate metal detection is essential. Aperture-style systems can be used in almost any type of application.

Metal Detecting conveyors are ideal for feeding granulators when tramp metal or inserts may be mixed in with the scrap.

These conveyors feature a non-metallic, center section made of fiberglass and reinforced with trusses, to support the metal detector's weight. Depending upon the control system, detection of metal either stops the conveyor until it is reset, or reverses the belt until the scrap is removed. Aperture metal detection is a highly effective means of protecting almost any type of machinery that may be damaged by metal parts or pieces. An aperture-style system provides superior metal detection for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal, and will detect metal either on or above the conveyor belt. This graph represents the test results on an aperture-style metal detector mounted on an EMI conveyor. The graph indicates the detection capabilities of the detector based on the size of the metal part and the height of the aperture opening. The test was performed with ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel to represent the wide range of metals that can be detected.
