Gravity metal detector QUICKTRON 03 R
The cost-effective QUICKTRON 03 R gravity free-fall style metal detector can detect and reject metal contaminants from bulk materials gravitationally transported in pipelines. It is often used to detect metals not only in plastic material (granules, regranulate, flakes), but also in other bulk materials.
The detector is fully automatic, equipped with a high-speed reject flap that instantly diverts the contaminant from the product stream and minimizes the loss of a good product.
The main advantages of this metal detector include the low price (resulting in a very fast return on investment) and easy installation.
The QUICKTRON 03 R detector is easy to integrate into existing technologies thanks to its low height and compact dimensions.
We supply this detector with an inlet opening of 30 – 200 mm as standard.
The control unit is very simple to operate, stable and resistant.
Principle advantages of a gravity free-fall style metal detector
- All metals both free and hidden in the material are detected and separated automatically.
- Excellent ratio price/performance.
- Optimum solution for cleaning various sorts of crushings and preservation of machinery.
- Easy building-in.
Working principle
The metal detector of the Quicktron series is installed into a pipeline used for the transport of free-falling bulk materials. The inspected material passes through the reject assembly. If the material is contaminated with metal particles, the contaminant in the product stream alters the high frequency field generated by the search coil. The electronics evaluate this signal and generate an impulse for the solenoid valve and double actuating air cylinder of the reject assembly. The contaminant is instantly diverted from the good product stream assuring minimal good product loss. The reject flap then automatically returns to its normal position. The detector operation including the ejection of the detected contaminant is fully automatic.
Thanks to the high-speed reject flap, its operation is very fast and accurate enabling minimization of the loss of good material.The reject time is adjustable.

Sensitivity of a metal detector
The detector sensitivity depends on many parameters, such as the aperture diameter (the smaller the aperture, the higher the sensitivity), the material speed, the density of the product, its temperature, 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.17.03.2022

A gravity (free-fall) metal detector is used when material is conveyed by free fall — i.e., it passes through a pipe or chute under its own weight, not on a belt. The material passes through the detection coil directly inside the pipe, enabling 100% flow inspection without any special product handling. If your production process involves gravity transport of bulk materials, this option is generally more compact and easier to integrate than a belt-based solution.
Sensitivity depends primarily on the aperture diameter of the detector — the smaller the diameter, the higher the sensitivity. For example, the Gravity metal detector QUICKTRON 03 R with a DN 30 mm aperture achieves a sensitivity of 0.5 mm (Fe sphere); at the largest aperture of DN 200 mm, this is 1.75 mm. Sensitivity is also influenced by other factors such as speed, density, temperature and moisture of the material — which is why we offer free tests on your material.
The Gravity metal detector QUICKTRON 03 R is an economical option with simple rejection, suitable for standard bulk materials such as granulate, regranulate or regrind. The Free fall metal detector QUICKTRON 03 E features a double rejection flap that prevents pipe blockages — choose this model especially for light film flakes. The Metal detector PDK COMPLETE is a complete purification system including a detector, vibratory feeder and transport unit, designed for dosing from big bags or drums without additional equipment.
We supply industrial metal detectors for gravity with aperture diameters from DN 30 to DN 200 mm. For the Gravity metal detector QUICKTRON 03 R, this corresponds to capacities from 1,000 to 44,800 litres per hour. If standard dimensions do not suit your operation, we manufacture a custom detector with a different diameter, height or frame.
