AccuLearn Technology

Setting up products with the AccuLearn Technology is easy and efficient. In as few as 1-2 minutes, the metal detector will learn your product's signature, allowing clean product to pass through while accurately identifying and rejecting products that have metal contamination.

Product Monitor

With Product Monitor, you get real time signal values for your product and the tramp metal that must be detected.

Patented Auto Balance

Advanced Detection Systems' auto-balance software maintains perfect coil balance and optimum performance, eliminating the cost of a service technician plant visit to re-balance the metal detector.

Patented Vibration Technology

ProScan vibration technology monitors interference created by vibration and automatically compensates for the effect, thus enhancing reliability and sensitivity.

tramp metal detector considerations

how to select the correct tramp metal detector

Selecting the right Tramp Metal Detector for the task can be influenced by a wide number of factors like….

  • Target size & type of tramp metal to be detected
  • Prevalence of tramp metal in the product stream
  • Conveyor width
  • Belt depth & troughing angle
  • Burden Depth
  • Lump size
  • Detector location
  • Location constraints (available room etc)
  • & more

Our helpful experts can assist in selecting the best equipment to provide the best outcome.

FAQ

Tramp Metal Detectors Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a metal detector?

There are two reasons. The first is protection of your expensive processing equipment. The second is to protect the integrity of your product. One small piece of metal can be devastating to your company’s reputation and equipment if found in a product.

If you are trying to protect your industrial processing or manufacturing equipment, then it should be placed as close to the infeed section as possible while still allowing ample space to stop before metal can enter. If you want to protect your final product, then the metal detector should be located as close to the end of the production line as possible — after the product has been packed.

Product effect, size, shape, type, orientation of metal contaminants, the size of the opening of the metal detector, as well as the environment of operation that the metal detector occupies can all affect the metal detection system’s sensitivity.

Make sure that the metal detector is appropriate for your unique application, the aperture size is appropriate for the various products that will be tested and that the detector is in the right location. Our experts can help you choose which metal detector is appropriate for your needs.
