Plastic Detection
Can a Metal Detector Detect Plastic?
Not directly, but we have specifically developed some units in field that detect the absence of metal instead of the presence of metal. For example, a long piece of plastic coated metal that you are inspecting for lack of metal in the coasting either to signal a defect or signal a zone to start another process.
Industrial Metal Detectors
What are industrial metal detectors and how do they work?
Industrial metal detectors are specialized inspection systems that detect unwanted metal contaminants in manufacturing and processing environments. They use electromagnetic fields to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, along with stainless steel contaminants before products move further down the production line.
Conveyor Belt Metal Detection Systems
What are conveyor belt metal detection systems used for?
Conveyor metal detection systems inspect products as they travel along a conveyor belt. These systems not only help manufacturers identify and remove metal contamination, but also protect downstream equipment, maintain product quality, and comply with industry safety standards.
Tramp Metal Detectors
What is tramp metal detection?
Tramp metal detection refers to the identification of unwanted metal objects that enter raw materials or production processes. Detecting tramp metal helps prevent costly equipment damage, reduce downtime, as well as improve overall operational efficiency.
