Product Description

When it comes to metal detection in recycling and plastics industries, the goal is to prevent metal contaminants from entering the processing line, protecting machinery, ensuring product quality, and avoiding potential hazards. Here are key considerations for selecting metal detectors for conveyors in recycling and plastics applications:

1. **Type of Metal Detector:**
   - **Ferrous, Non-Ferrous, and Stainless Steel Detection:** Choose a metal detector that can effectively detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. In recycling, materials may vary, so having a broad detection range is crucial.

2. **Conveyor Integration:**
   - **Compatibility:** Ensure that the metal detector is compatible with the conveyor systems commonly used in recycling and plastics processing.
   - **Conveyor Speed:** The metal detector should be capable of handling the conveyor speed typically associated with recycling and plastics production lines.

3. **Aperture Size:**
   - **Appropriate Aperture Dimensions:** Consider the size of the materials being processed and select a metal detector with an aperture size that accommodates the largest pieces without compromising sensitivity.

4. **Material Handling:**
   - **Non-Destructive Handling:** The metal detector should be designed to handle materials without causing damage, especially in the case of plastic materials.

5. **Detection Sensitivity:**
   - **Adjustable Sensitivity:** Choose a metal detector with adjustable sensitivity levels to accommodate different materials and potential metal contaminant sizes.

6. **Environmental Conditions:**
   - **Weather Resistance:** Depending on the location of the conveyor system (indoors or outdoors), consider a metal detector that is resistant to environmental conditions.
   - **Temperature Resistance:** Ensure the metal detector can operate effectively in the temperature range of the recycling and plastics processing environment.

7. **Reject Mechanism:**
   - **Automatic Rejection:** The metal detector should have an automatic rejection system to divert contaminated materials from the conveyor, preventing them from entering downstream processes.

8. **User Interface:**
   - **User-Friendly Controls:** The interface should be intuitive, allowing for easy setup, operation, and adjustment of settings.
   - **Display Screen:** A clear display screen provides real-time information about the detection process.

9. **Alarm System:**
   - **Audible and Visual Alarms:** The metal detector should provide audible and visual alarms to alert operators in case of metal contamination.

10. **Data Logging and Reporting:**
    - **Data Storage:** Some advanced metal detectors offer data logging capabilities for tracking and recording inspection data.
    - **Reporting Features:** Look for models that provide detailed reports on the metal detection process for quality control and compliance purposes.

11. **Compliance and Certifications:**
    - **Industry Standards:** Ensure that the metal detector complies with relevant industry standards and regulations for recycling and plastics processing.
    - **Certifications:** Check for certifications from recognized organizations that demonstrate compliance with specific requirements.

12. **Maintenance Requirements:**
    - **Ease of Cleaning:** The machine should be easy to clean to maintain hygiene standards.
    - **Routine Maintenance:** Consider the frequency and ease of routine maintenance to ensure consistent performance, especially in environments with potentially abrasive materials.

13. **Technical Support and Training:**
    - **Supplier Support:** Choose a supplier that offers reliable technical support and training programs for your staff.

Before making a final decision, consult with the manufacturer or supplier to discuss your specific requirements and ensure that the metal detector is well-suited for the recycling and plastics applications in your operation.


Metal detectors for conveyors are used in recycling and plastics industries to detect metal contamination in the materials being processed. If a metal is detected, it can be removed before the material reaches its final destination, which can reduce costs and improve quality.

There are many different types of metal detectors for conveyors, including:

-    Non-destructive inspection: This type of inspection uses an X-ray system to detect metals in the material without actually taking a sample. It can be used for both metals and other contaminants such as plastic film or glass shards.

-    Pulse induction: This type of inspection uses electromagnetic induction to detect metals in a material. It is not sensitive to non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum) but is sensitive to ferrous metals (such as steel).
Product advantages:
 Product advantages:
Mechanism exported from Germany, Dual-channel metal detection system. Coil with a rectangular aperture (no points).
Control system: ADLINE microprocessor controller.
Combined with two-way signal detection circuit technology, liquid crystal display operations in English and visualization.
Has the adjustment function of products effect, such as moist products, products including sugar or salt, they all can make the machine has the signal of metal, which is actually has no metal, so it gets wrong information from the products and affect the detection result. So use this machine with this function can reduce the products' effect to get better detection result.
With memory and learning function, can store 12 kinds of product testing parameters, detecting a wide range of materials.
Completed by the digital signal processing circuit can detect all metal objects, adjusting the simple, stable and reliable.
The combination of DSP and microcontroller data items on the test sample and treatment to improve detection.
Special transport mechanism designed the maxi-Mize sensitivity of metal detectors.
