Metal Detector Applications in the Plastic Recycling Industry

 

 

Conveyor Belt Metal Detector for Recycling Industry | Non-Ferrous & Ferrous Metal Detection System

 

Product Description:

The Conveyor Belt Metal Detector for Recycling Applications is an industrial-grade detection system designed to identify and remove metal contaminants from various waste streams. Built for rugged use in harsh environments, this metal detector ensures reliable detection of ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel materials in plastics, paper, rubber, wood, textiles, scrap, and construction waste.

Designed to integrate with existing conveyor systems, this unit helps protect downstream shredders, grinders, crushers, and sorting machines from costly damage and ensures product purity for secondary raw material processing.

 

Key Features:

• Wide Detection Range: Detects ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless steel

• Custom Conveyor Widths: Standard sizes from 400 mm to 1500 mm, with optional customization

• Detection Height: Adaptable based on material type and throughput

• Construction: Heavy-duty steel frame with weather-resistant finish

• Rejection System: Optional automatic reject flap, air-blast, or alarm signal

• Alarm & Output: Visual/audio alarms, relay output for integration with control systems

• Sensitivity Adjustment: Digital tuning for different materials

• Dust & Water Resistance: IP54-IP65 for industrial environments

 

Typical Applications:

• Plastic recycling (e.g. PET bottles, shredded plastic flakes)

• Paper & cardboard recycling lines

• Wood and furniture waste processing

• Textile and fabric reuse plants

• E-waste (WEEE) and electronic scrap sorting

• Construction and demolition (C&D) waste

• RDF/SRF fuel preparation lines

 

Benefits:

• Protects expensive equipment from metal damage

• Ensures product purity in reprocessed materials

• Improves quality grading and compliance

• Supports automated, high-speed sorting operations

• Customizable to fit existing conveyor systems

In the plastic recycling industry, metal detectors play a critical role in ensuring product quality and protecting processing equipment. They are used to detect and remove metal contaminants that may enter the recycling stream. These contaminants can come from various sources such as packaging materials, production residues, or foreign objects mixed with plastic waste.

 

Key Applications:

1. Pre-Sorting and Shredding:

   • Metal detectors are installed before shredders to detect and remove ferrous and non-ferrous metals, preventing damage to shredding blades and machinery.

2. Granulation and Pelletizing:

   • During the granulation process, metal detectors ensure that plastic pellets or granules are free from metal contaminants that could affect the quality of the final product.

3. Conveyor-Based Inspection:

   • Metal detectors are integrated with conveyor systems to continuously monitor plastic materials as they move through the production line.

4. Injection Molding and Extrusion:

   • Metal detectors protect injection molding and extrusion equipment by identifying metal particles that could damage screws and barrels.

 

Types of Metal Detectors for Plastic Recycling:

1. Conveyor Belt Metal Detectors:

   • Ideal for bulk material inspection, allowing for automatic rejection of contaminated materials.

2. Tunnel and Pipeline Metal Detectors:

   • Used for inspecting plastic materials in pipelines or chutes.

3. Gravity-Fed Metal Detectors:

   • Suitable for inspecting free-falling plastic granules or powders.

4. Handheld Metal Detectors:

   • Used for manual inspection of small batches or spot-checking.

 

Advantages:

• Equipment Protection: Prevents costly repairs and downtime by detecting metal contaminants before they damage machinery.
• Product Quality: Ensures the final recycled plastic products meet quality and safety standards.
• Regulatory Compliance: Helps meet industry standards and certifications for recycled materials.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduces waste and improves yield by allowing contaminated batches to be reprocessed.

 

Integration with Other Technologies:

Metal detectors in recycling plants are often used alongside:

• Eddy Current Separators: For separating non-ferrous metals.
• Magnetic Separators: For removing ferrous metals.
• Optical Sorters: For sorting plastics by color and type.
