New Metal Detector Protects Equipment from Large Damaging Tramp Metal
Erie, PA - January 2002 - Eriez' new Megatec(TM) Model 1220 Metal Detector is a rugged, lightweight and compact unit designed for coal, coke, aggregate plants and many other processing facilities where larger pieces of metal must be detected. The Megatec(TM) fits on most standard CEMA conveyors with belt widths of 24 to 48 inches (609 to 1,219mm) and has all adjustable aperture height of 22 inches (559mm) accommodating a maximum burden depth of 18 inches (457mm).
Most coal, coke and aggregate type plants need to protect downstream equipment (e.g. crushers, grinders) from large damaging tramp metal. This detection system operates by measuring the change in the received electro-magnetic signal of material being conveyed through the opening in the metal detector. If the signal is larger than the detector threshold of the metal detector, a detection will occur. Smaller metal pieces will pass, undetected ensuring no nuisance interruptions to the operation.
The coils, encased in high-strength fiberglass, are supported by fiberglass vertical uprights. The Megatec(TM) Detector features a 25-foot (7.62m) long cable, all solid-state integrated circuits, has uniform sensitivity and is immune to the effects of ambient temperature and humidity. It accommodates conveyor speeds from 60 to 1,000 fpm.
