Gravity free-fall style metal detector METRON 07 PowerLine
The highly sensitive METRON 07 PowerLine metal detector is installed in bulk conveying lines to detect metal particles. It can also be applied in pressure pipelines.
The METRON 07 PowerLine detector is easily integrated into existing installation thanks to its low overall height and compact dimensions.
The METRON 07 is a synonym for metal detectors with the highest detection accuracy and reliability.The detector coil has several layers of shielding and does not require a plastic sensor tube. This makes the detector immune to external electromagnetic interference and allows for extremely accurate metal detection.
This metal separator is made of stainless steel with an emphasis on hygienic design.There are no dead spots where the material could settle!
This detector is equipped with a first-rate AMD 07 control unit with a range of advanced features, such as a touch screen control panel, so its operation is simple and intuitive.It enables permanent monitoring of electronic and mechanical parts. The mesuNET system arranges for remote maintenance and network integration of the device. The unit is a part of the detector, but can also be placed outside the detector.
We supply this metal separator for pipes with a diameter of 50 – 300 mm as standard.

We can supply units with different height, inside diameters, frames, etc. to meet your requirements.
We will ask you to specify the required modifications so that the offer can be elaborated exactly according to your requirement.
Metal free zone - MFZ
It is essential for the proper metal detector functioning that there are no fixed (e.g. conveyor structure, its covering) or moving metal parts (e.g. conveyor rollers) in the proximity of the detector’s aperture. Therefore, the MFZ is defined for each detector and it should not contain moving or fixed metals. The aperture of the metal detector is to be placed in the middle of this metal free zone. When you observe the MFZ when installing the detector, you will prevent false alarms and false detections and contribute to the correct detector operation.
Contact us – we will help you with the MFZ calculation for moving and fixed metals.
The great advantage of this metal detector is that a metal-free zone is not required.
Sensitivity of a metal detector
The detector's sensitivity depends on many parameters, such as the aperture dimensions (the lower is the aperture height, the higher is the detector sensitivity), the conveyor belt speed, the density of the product, its temperature and humidity, etc.
Maximum obtainable sensitivity can be established by testing your product sample in our laboratory. We will perform these tests free of charge. Please contact us, we will discuss the test execution as well as the dispatch of your material samples.

The METRON 07 PowerLine is designed for bulk materials conveyed through pressure pipelines – it is the only model in the series that can be installed in pressurised pipelines (negative pressure up to 0.5 bar). Other models are intended for gravity fall (METRON 05 CR), pneumatic conveying (METRON 05 PowerLine) or belt conveyors. If you operate a pressure pipeline, the METRON 07 PowerLine is the right choice.
Sensitivity depends on the pipeline diameter. In DN 50 it detects a steel sphere of 0.25 mm diameter, in DN 100 from 0.5 mm, in DN 150 from 0.7 mm and in DN 300 from 1.2 mm. Because sensitivity is also affected by product density, temperature and moisture content, we recommend testing your material on the equipment – free of charge, within three days.
No. The METRON 07 PowerLine is one of very few detectors that does not require a Metal Free Zone – a clear space free of both stationary and moving metals immediately around the aperture. This makes integration into existing production lines considerably easier and eliminates false signals caused by conveyor structures.
We supply the METRON 07 PowerLine as standard for pipeline diameters DN 50 to DN 300 mm. On request, we manufacture the detector with a different aperture diameter, height or frame to suit your specific requirements. The most common special versions are the ATEX version for explosive environments and the Alutron version, which eliminates false signals caused by metallised film (Patent No. 4342826).
The detector meets the requirements of HACCP, IFS, BRC and SQF quality systems – the standard for the food industry. The all-stainless-steel construction and hygienic design with no blind pockets ensure easy cleaning and sanitisation. IP 66 protection rating allows operation in wet environments; the operating temperature range is -10 °C to +50 °C.
The AMD 07 control unit features a 5.7" colour touch display, Ethernet communication and memory for up to 500 products. It provides automatic product set-up with noise suppression and automatic sensitivity calibration. The unit can be installed directly in the detector or remotely; the optional mesuNET module provides remote access and diagnostics.
We take care of the entire project: we visit your site, survey and design a custom solution, install, commission and train the operators. We then provide authorised warranty and post-warranty service. Before ordering, we also guarantee that we will perform tests of your material on the equipment within three days – free of charge.
