Advantages of metal detector Metron 05 CI

  • Digital signal processing for best detection
  • Economical version - attractive price/performance ratio
  • Easy 4-button intuitive operation
  • Robust detector design for maximum working life
  • Highest sensitivity in long-term operation
  • Network connectivity and data management
  • For a conveyor belt with a speed of up to 30 m/s
  • Hygienic design for use in the food industry

Tunnel metal detector METRON 05 CI

The METRON 05 CI tunnel metal detector with integrated control unit is used to detect metal contaminants in materials transported on the conveyor belts. Digital signal processing enables excellent detection results and the robust detector design contributes to its maximum working life.

Thanks to its advantageous price, the METRON 05 CI is one of the most commonly used tunnel detectors.

It is equipped with a powerful AMD 05 control unit with a range of advanced functions such as automatic product setup, automatic calibration, or a digital filtration system. The unit is fitted with a 5-line LCD display and controlled by 4 ergonomic buttons. Its operation is simple and intuitive.

The METRON 05 CI metal detector enables the metal detection in materials transported on a conveyor belt at speed of up to 30 m/s!

Principle advantages of a tunnel metal detector 

  • Tunnel detector with integrated evaluation electronics to be installed into the conveyer belts for checking the goods or protecting the technologies.
  • All metal particles are detected and it is both off-shell particles and the ones in the  form of inclusions in the end product.
  • Exact and maximally reliable detection of metals.
  • Easy operation.
  • Minimum dimensional requirements (reduction of the range of the area that metal object can occur in) thanks to mesuCAGE technology.
  • It conforms to the quality requirements as per HACCP, IFS, BRC and SQF systems.

The METRON 05 CI tunnel metal detector is:

  • Reliable – in process and detection
  • Durable – in technology and performance
  • Comfortable – in design and data management

Optional equipment

The METRON 05 CI detectors can be supplied with a wide range of additional equipment:

  • Signal units – beacon, buzzer, beacon with siren
  • Metal spheres in plastic to verify sensitivity of the detector
  • Hard copy printer
  • MesuNET – network integration and remote maintenance
  • Conveyor belt controller – reverse operation, belt stop
  • Reject systems – pusher (= reject arm), plough (= diverter), carriage retract band, flap, stop on detect (SOD)

Special design

Do you have special requirements for a metal detector design? The most common requirements include:

  • Explosion proof versions
  • Units painted to customer specific color code
  • Special power supply, terminals, etc.
  • Designed for use even at high temperatures
  • Detector head including display and/or control electronics in a separate housing

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.

Sensitivity of a metal detector

Sensitivity of a metal detector METRON 05 CIThe 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.
