APPLICATION PROFILE

The GLS tunnel metal detector is designed for installation on the belt conveyors, plate conveyors, chutes and other horizontal transport systems. Owing to the closed (inseparable) design, the detector ensures very high sensitivity throughout the entire tunnel area. The detector tunnel is adapted to the height of the product inspected and transporter width. The machine detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals, in particular carbon steel, acid resistant steel, aluminium, copper, lead etc. Because of high effectiveness of metal detection, the machines are used wherever a customer needs a high quality end product e.g. in food industry.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Metal detection results in generation of the output signal that may be used to:

• Emergency stop the conveyor and switch on the light signal informing about metal presence in the raw material
• Start separation mechanism (e.g. pneumatic discharge flap at the conveyor discharge)
• Report on quantity of the metals detected

APPLICATIONS

• Meat, charcuterie, fish
• Frozen fruits and vegetables
• Cakes, ice-cream, chocolate, candies
• Powder milk and other bulk products
• Pharmaceutical industry: inspection of packet tablets and capsules
• Cosmetic industry: inspection of cosmetics and personal hygiene materials
• Components for production of explosive materials
• and many other applications requiring very high detection sensitivity
