Pipe metal detector P-TRON 05 GM V1
The cost-effective pipe metal detector P-TRON 05 GM V1 detector is used to detect and reject metal particles from vacuum-fed bulk materials. It is designed for installation into vertical and horizontal pipes. It is often used to detect metals in plastic material (granules, re-granulate, plastic flakes).
The detector is fully automatic, equipped with a high-speed reject flap that instantly diverts the detected 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.
We supply this detector with an inlet opening of 38 – 80 mm as standard.
The control unit is very simple to operate, stable, and durable.
Principle advantages of a pipeline metal detector
- Metal detector for compressed-air transport.
- All metals both free and hidden in the material are detected and separated automatically.
- Very exact and relible detection of metals.
- Option to deliver a special design for abrasive materials or into an explosive ambient with the atex certificate.
Principle of detector function
The metal detector of the P-TRON series is installed into a pipeline used for the vacuum transport of 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 elimination of contaminants is fully automatic.
Thanks to the high-speed reject flap used, its operation is very fast and accurate, enabling minimization of good material loss.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

The pipe metal detector P-TRON 05 GM V1 with a 38 mm aperture detects ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic particles from 0.6 mm in diameter and stainless steel from 1.0 mm. Sensitivity depends on the aperture diameter — the smaller the opening, the higher the sensitivity. For a 100 mm aperture, sensitivity for Fe and NonFe is 1.2 mm and for stainless steel 1.75 mm.
The material passes through the detection coil; when a metal contaminant is detected, a high-speed ejection flap automatically opens and diverts the contaminant along with a small amount of material into the reject bin. Thanks to a 50 ms switching time and an adjustable ejection cycle duration, losses of good material are minimal. The entire process runs fully automatically even at conveying speeds of up to 30 m/s.
No, the P-TRON 05 GM V1 does not require a Metal Free Zone, which significantly simplifies installation and allows integration into existing production lines without modifying the surrounding structure. The detector can be installed directly into the pipeline without any special protective zones around the detection head.
