Metal detector for the installation in pipelines QUICKTRON 07 RH HyQ Clean
The highly sensitive QUICKTRON 07 RH HyQ Clean gravity free-fall style metal detector for the examination of free-falling bulk materials. The QUICKTRON 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, allowing for extremely accurate metal detection.
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 QUICKTRON 07 RH HyQ Clean detector is easily integrated into existing installation thanks to its low overall height and compact dimensions.
It is made of stainless steel with an emphasis on hygienic design. It meets the strictest hygiene requirements, it is easy to clean and resistant to most cleaning procedures. There are no dead spots where the material could settle or accumulate!
The hygienic design and extreme sensitivity make the QUICKTRON 07 RH HyQ Clean detector the absolute top among gravity free-fall style metal detectors is used to detect and reject metal contaminants from bulk materials gravitationally transported in pipelines.
This detector is fitted with a first-rate AMD 07 control unit with a range of advanced functions. The unit is equipped with a touch screen, so its operation is simple and intuitive.It enables permanent monitoring of electronic and mechanical parts. The mesuNET system allows remote access to the device. The control unit is a part of the detector but it can also be placed outside the detector.
We supply this metal separator for pipes with a diameter of 80 – 300 mm as standard. We can also offer a detector for pipes of other diameters and shapes (square, rectangular).

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

The QUICKTRON 07 RH HyQ Clean is a highly sensitive gravity-fed metal detector designed to detect metal contaminants in free-falling bulk materials transported through pipelines. It is built with a focus on hygienic design and meets the most stringent hygiene requirements — including FDA compliance of the sensor zone — making it the absolute benchmark for food industry and other hygiene-critical environments. The all-stainless-steel construction (1.4301 / SS 304) ensures resistance to cleaning procedures and long service life.
Sensitivity depends on the aperture diameter — the smaller the diameter, the higher the sensitivity. The detector detects a steel ball from 0.4 mm at apertures Ø 80 and Ø 100 mm, from 0.5 mm at Ø 120 mm, from 0.6 mm at Ø 150 mm, from 0.8 mm at Ø 200 mm, from 1.0 mm at Ø 250 mm, and from 1.2 mm at Ø 300 mm. Additional factors such as material speed, density, temperature, and moisture also influence sensitivity — we will verify the exact sensitivity for your application with a free test, with a guaranteed result within three days.
The detector is available as standard for pipeline diameters from 80 to 300 mm (DN 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, 250, 300). It reliably detects metals at material flow speeds of 1.5–6.0 m/s. For non-standard diameters, different cross-sections (square, rectangular), or special frame heights, we manufacture the detector exactly to your requirements.
Material passes through the detection coil in free fall. As soon as the coil picks up a signal from a metal contaminant, it triggers the high-speed rejection flap, which diverts the contaminated portion into the reject bin. The flap then automatically returns to its original position, and the rejection time is adjustable to minimise losses of good product. The entire system operates fully automatically without operator intervention.
The detection coil features multiple shielding layers and does not require a plastic sensor tube — unlike many competing solutions. This makes the detector immune to external electromagnetic interference, enabling extremely accurate and stable metal detection even in industrial environments with high levels of electromagnetic noise. Digital signal filtering in the AMD 07 control unit further reinforces this immunity.
The entire detector is made of stainless steel 1.4301 with no inaccessible corners or dead pockets where material could accumulate. The rejection unit can be dismantled in less than 1 minute and without tools — the same applies to the rejection flap — both parts can be cleaned immediately. The sensor zone is made of antistatic, FDA-compliant polyethylene, so the detector easily passes even the most stringent hygiene audits in food production facilities.
The detector is powered by 100–240 V AC (50/60 Hz) with a maximum power consumption of 50 W and an IP 66 protection rating. Operating temperature is -10 to +50 °C, relative humidity 0–95% without condensation. An optional air compressor or compressed air tank can be supplied as part of the delivery if a compressed air supply is not available at the installation site.
The AMD 07 control unit features a 5.7" colour touchscreen display, Ethernet communication, and a USB connector. It can store settings for up to 500 products, supports remote access via the mesuNET system (diagnostics, parameter changes, software updates), and laptop control via mesuSET. Optional accessories also include a warning device (beacon, buzzer) and an ATEX version for use in explosive atmospheres.
