Eriez Metal Detector

Within the Eriez metal detection product family, available equipment includes balanced-coil metal detection systems for products such as food, packaged goods, and other processed materials, as well as pulse-induction metal detectors used in heavier-duty applications such as mining, aggregates, minerals processing, and bulk material handling.

Eriez also offers X8 metal detector configurations for tunnel, conveyor, vertical form-fill-seal, liquid line, webline, and vertical drop applications where the specific detector style is matched to the process layout and product flow.

For industrial facilities, processors, packaging operations, and material-handling teams, Process Controls Corporation (PCC) can help identify the appropriate Eriez metal detector based on the product stream, installation location, inspection objective, and process requirements.

Selection considerations may include detector type, product presentation, material flow method, available space, surrounding equipment, and whether the application involves packaged products, free-fall materials, conveyed materials, liquids, slurries, sheets, or bulk material handling.

Key Characteristics

• Metal Detection Product Family: Includes Eriez detector systems used to identify metal contamination or tramp metal within supported process and material-handling applications.
• Balanced-coil Detection Options: Used for product inspection applications involving materials such as food products, packaged goods, and other processed products.
• Pulse-induction Detection Options: Used for heavier-duty material-handling applications where tramp metal detection is required in industries such as mining, aggregates, and minerals processing.
• Multiple System Configurations: Includes detector styles for conveyor, tunnel, vertical, liquid line, webline, and free-fall or gravity-fed applications when supported by the selected product.
• Process-dependent Selection: Detector choice depends on the material being inspected, how the material moves through the process, and the intended inspection or equipment protection objective.
• PCC Application Support: PCC can help evaluate Eriez metal detector options for compatibility with the customer’s product flow, installation environment, and equipment layout.

Ideal Applications

• Detecting metal contamination in food, packaged goods, and processed materials
• Supporting inspection points in production and packaging operations
• Identifying tramp metal in heavy-duty material-handling processes
• Protecting downstream equipment from metal objects in bulk material streams
• Inspecting materials moving by conveyor, gravity flow, vertical drop, liquid line, or web handling where supported by the selected Eriez system
• Evaluating detector options for new installations, equipment upgrades, or process-specific inspection requirements
