Metal Detector Separator

Metal Detector Separator is usually installed close to a conveyor or chute so that material or packages to be inspected pass through the detector's aperture. The metal detection system creates a high frequency electromagnetic field through which all conveyed material and packages pass. Presence of foreign metallic particles causes a reaction in this field, which is sensed by the detector and signal is amplified as required. The signal output is in the form of relay contacts which can be used to stop a conveyor, sound an alarm, and actuate a marking system or any other device or combination of devices. Metal detectors can be used with conveyor speed from 0.1mtrs/second onwards without any special modifications. Metal detectors are available in custom choices in a wide range of aperture sizes having aluminium or stainless steel structure as per customers' requirements. New manufacturing techniques result in an integral search head and control unit making installation and operation simple.
