Metal Detecting Conveyors

Metal Detecting conveyors are ideal for feeding granulators when tramp metal or inserts may be mixed in with the scrap. EMI offers two types of metal detecting conveyors.

Aperture-style detectors: offer exceptional detection of both ferrous and non ferrous metals, and will detect almost any metal that passes through the aperture.
Flat Bed detectors: cost significantly less than an aperture detector, but will only detect metal that is either on the belt or slightly above.

Both 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.

EMI will design your metal detecting conveyor according to specific application needs. The type of metal detection used will depend upon a number of factors including:

What are the dimensions of the largest part being fed into the grinder
How much material will you be feeding into the grinder at a time
How large is the metal you wish to detect (i.e. pliers, inserts, staples etc.)
Is the metal that is detected going to be transported to a container, or will it be removed by hand
