Conveyor metal detector TRANSTRON
We fit out the TRANSTRON with various types of metal detectors according to customer requirements. The most common detector types are:
TRANSTRON is a complex solution for metal detection. It contains a high-quality and custom-made conveyor equipped with a top-class metal detector. We achieve trouble-free metal detection results thanks to the perfect integration of the metal detector and the correct observance of the metal-free zone.
- METRON 07 CI tunnel metal detector
- METRON 05 CI tunnel metal detector
- METRON 05 D tunnel metal detector
We always design the detector and conveyor according to the customer's needs.
We can supply a tailor-made conveyor so that it can be easily and quickly implemented in the customer's existing technology and conveying systems.
They are always equipped with a top metal detector. The customer can choose from a wide range of optional equipment:
- Signal units (buzzer, beacon etc.)
- Possibility of reverse operation
- Collection boxes for the contaminants (lockable)
- Various reject systems (pusher, plough (diverter), flap, air blast, carriage retract band, stop on detect
According to the product needs, we supply:
- Belt conveyors
- Modular conveyors
- Roller conveyors
Conveyors can be straight or angled, height-adjustable, stationary or mobile.
We always project the Transtron so that it reflects all customer requirements.
The support of our service department is a matter of course.
TRANSTRON combines a custom-built conveyor with a metal detector as a single integrated solution. The key advantage over retrofitting a detector to an existing conveyor is the guaranteed correct observation of the metal-free zone (MFZ) — the conveyor is designed specifically around the detector's requirements, eliminating the risk of false signals caused by the conveyor frame or rollers. TRANSTRON is also designed from the outset for straightforward integration into the customer's existing production technology and transport routes.
TRANSTRON is most commonly equipped with tunnel metal detectors METRON 07 CI, METRON 05 CI, or METRON 05 D. The METRON 07 CI is the most advanced option, featuring imagePHASE and mesuCAGE technologies and the AMD 07 control unit with a 5.7" touchscreen and remote access. The METRON 05 CI offers an attractive price-to-performance ratio with the AMD 05 control unit. The METRON 05 D has a split-frame design that allows installation onto an existing belt without interrupting it. The choice of detector depends on the required sensitivity, hygiene standards, line speed, and data management requirements — we recommend a consultation to select the optimal combination.
Depending on the application, we supply belt conveyors, modular conveyors, or roller conveyors. The conveyor can be straight or angled, height-adjustable, and either stationary or mobile. Each conveyor is custom-designed to reflect the spatial constraints of the customer's facility, the transport speed, and the nature of the product being handled. The goal is a solution that can be quickly and easily implemented and integrated directly into the existing line.
For the rejection of detected products we offer a pusher, pneumatic ejection, or a drop-through device. Lockable collection boxes for detected products are available as a standard supplement, ensuring traceability and preventing unauthorised access to contaminants. Conveyor control for reverse operation can be added optionally. The optimal type of rejection system depends on the product properties, line speed, and process auditability requirements.
TRANSTRON is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications — food processing, chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics, and others. When equipped with the METRON 07 CI or METRON 05 CI, it meets the hygiene requirements of HACCP, IFS, BRC, and SQF systems. For woodworking plants we offer the TRANSTRON HL variant, which is the ideal complement to the tunnel metal detector METRON 05 CO. We always propose the most suitable combination of detector and conveyor for the specific operating conditions.
We visit every customer on site, carry out a survey, and propose an optimal solution. Both the conveyor and the detector are manufactured to order; we manage installation, commissioning, and operator training. Authorised service is provided throughout the entire service life of the equipment. Before the order is confirmed, we carry out free material tests — results are guaranteed within three days.
