Metcorr 117C Conveyor Metal Detector for a Reliable Tramp Metal Detection

Rapiscan Systems has 40 years’ experience in designing and manufacturing metal detectors both for people and industrial applications. Metcorr 117C conveyor metal detector originates from the same famous technology as Metor walk-through metal detectors. Both metal detectors are very reliable, give hardly any fault alarms, have excellent immunity for vibration and perform well even in harsh conditions.

Using the Metcorr 117C conveyor metal detector, you can prevent damage that metal objects cause to ore crushers and other process equipment. You will get the costs invested in the Metcorr back quickly when you calculate the direct savings from preventing damages and the increased running time of the plant. One single non-detected metal piece can cause a damage that is tenfold to the price of the Metcorr conveyor metal detector.

Some conveyor metal detectors generate a non-uniform electromagnetic field. This means that metal objects lying in a certain orientation can pass through the detector without triggering an alarm. The only way to compensate for this is to set the sensitivity to such a level that you are constantly plagued by false alarms. This means stopping the machines and slowing down the whole process. Somebody needs to check the reason for the alarm, which further slows down the work and requires extra manpower. All this costs money and therefore a reliable conveyor metal detector, like the Metcorr 117C, gives a much better return on investment than a non-reliable industrial metal detector. The Metcorr 117C uses two coils and generates a homogenous crossed field. This means that Metcorr 117C triggers an alarm every time tramp metal passes through the detector without requiring the sensitivity level to be set so high that false alarms result. 

Fixed metal objects, such as the conveyor frame can effect the performance of a conveyor metal detector. For detectors sensitive to fixed metal objects, the proximity of a metal frame may require complicated balancing procedures, or even replacing the metal frame with a wooden structure. The Metcorr 117C conveyor metal detector is designed so that it eliminates the effects of fixed metal objects.  Therefore Metcorr117C can also be reliably used on steel corded belts.
