Metal Detectors for Conveyors
Looking for high-performance metal detectors for all types of conveyors? At Medetec, we offer a wide range of solutions specifically developed for integration into conveyor systems in demanding industrial environments. Whether you operate in mining, recycling, plastics, or packaging, our detectors help you identify and eliminate metallic contaminants efficiently—protecting your equipment and ensuring consistent product quality.
Conveyor-Based Metal Detection for industrial use
Our conveyor metal detectors are designed to work seamlessly with belt-driven systems, vibratory feeders, and other types of conveyors both stationary and mobile equipment. These solutions are ideal for detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals in both bulk material and finished goods during high-speed transport.
Depending on your application, we offer several detector types that can be easily integrated into your conveyor infrastructure:
- Tunnel detectors for full product inspection and high sensitivity.
- Underbelt detectors for low-height material streams and easy installation.
- Custom-profile detectors for free fall or other material streams.
Each solution ensures high operational uptime, minimise false alarms, and easy integration.
Benefits of Metal Detectors for conveyor systems
- Fast, accurate detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Integration into existing conveyor lines or in new machinery
- Increased equipment protection and reduced downtime
- Compliance with industry safety and quality standards
- Custom sizes and configurations available
Which Metal Detector is right for your conveyor?
Choosing the right metal detector for your conveyor depends on several factors—material height, belt speed, contamination risk, and available installation space. Our team will help you select the optimal model for your process, whether it's a tunnel-style detector or an underbelt system.
