In-line metal detector DMO
The DMO type in-line metal detector is designed to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals in loose, fibrous, liquid or pasty materials transported in pipelines with the highest precision. It is used in free fall, pneumatic and pressure transport systems. The DMO detector protects process machines against damage caused by metal contamination, prevents production downtime and ensures product quality.
The DMO metal detector is reliable, easy to use and designed for continuous operation. The metal detector is characterized by the highest sensitivity of metal detection in the entire area of the transport tunnel. The DMO detector meets the requirements of food quality management systems ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, BRC, IFS.

Working principle of the in-line metal detector
The tested product moves through the metal detector tunnel. The detector creates a high-frequency electromagnetic field throughout the entire transport tunnel area - no dead zones. The electromagnetic field generated by the transmitting coil induces a certain signal in the receiving coil. The metal contained in the product deforms the electromagnetic field lines generated by the transmitting coil, thereby changing the amplitude and phase of the signal induced in the receiving coil. The received signal is analyzed by the detector's electronic system and converted into a metal detection signal. The metal detector detects iron and its alloys, including stainless steel and acid-resistant steel, and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, brass, zinc, lead, silver, etc. The scanning sensitivity is adjusted using a digital control unit.
Why choose our in-line metal detectors?
DMO in-line detectors can operate in a horizontal or vertical position, depending on the user's application. Detectors are available with inlet diameters from 30 to 600 mm, which allows adaptation to most existing gravity or pressure transport systems. Thanks to the undivided structure (monoblock), they have a short metal-free zone, which saves time and space for installation in an existing installation. DMO detectors can work with simple PRIMUS type controllers in the plastics industry or with advanced GENIUS or INTUITY type controllers in the food and pharmaceutical industries. DMO detectors can also be used in other industries and even in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX).
Advanced control units with multi-range search frequency (DUO technology) enable optimal detection sensitivity and the highest product purity. A touch display with visualization of the product and ongoing processes enables simple operation and saves time by quickly setting the detector parameters. The quality control program complies with IFS, BRC, HAACP and ISO 22000 standards. DMO in-line detectors can be equipped with interfaces enabling communication in technological networks. This allows you to save time by communicating with an individual device and monitoring work in real time. Factory certificates and approvals, which the customer receives upon request, are solid arguments during internal and external audits.
