Tunnel metal detector (DMD)

Tunnel metal detector (DMD)

The DMD type tunnel metal detector is designed to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals in piece goods or bulk materials transported on belt conveyors. The metal detector protects process machines against damage caused by metal contamination, prevents production downtime, and ensures product quality. It is also used as an additional level of protection after the magnetic separator.

The tunnel metal detector is reliable, easy to use and designed for continuous operation. The metal detector is characterized by high scanning sensitivity across the entire width of the conveyor belt. The split design of the metal detector allows for simple integration into an existing production line and belt conveyor system - there is no need to disconnect the belt and rebuild the conveyor.
