Metal Detection at Apron / Plate Conveyors and Steel Roped Belt Conveyors

Posted in: , on 14. Apr. 2015 - 21:29

Hi,

I found this forum through my internet research in terms of a detection device that we have developed and for which we try to estimate a possible market.

I hope to get some advice and opinions on the subject from operators and suppliers in the bulk handling industries.

We have developed a sensor that is able to detect reliably all sort of conductive materials (ferous/non-ferous) even within an environment with a huge amount of metal around it. Our idea is to use this sensor as a metal detector above apron conveyors or above belt conveyors with steel ropes. At the actual stage the sensor is able to detect an M20 nut out of 700mm distance (with other material on top of the nut) on a moving plate conveyor.

Does anyone know existing solutions on the market for such application? Is there a demand for the device?

We thought about the protection of crushers that are fed with an apron/plate conveyor in the mining industry.

Looking forward for your ideas and thoughts on the topic.

Thanks!

Best Regards!
