Description
How Detection Sorting Works:
MPI’s Detection Sorting System features a high sensitivity metal detector mounted under a belt that reliably and consistently senses fine metal particles (down to 0.5 mm diameter metals) over belt widths ranging from 24” to 96”. The total detection zone is divided into multiple segmented single zones, with each sensor zone sized to meet the sensitivity level required for the application. Each segment has its own reject mechanism to remove only a small portion of material from the belt for reprocessing.
Under the conveyor belt a metal detector produces electromagnetic waves. Product flows on the belt directly over the detector. When metal in the product passes over and alters the waves, a computer processes the signal, pinpoints the contaminate location and alerts the reject to expel only that “contaminated” section of the product from the product stream.
Options:
The Detection Sorting System can be partnered with:
- MPI’s Cross Belt Separators
- Magnetic Head Pulleys
- Eddy Currents
