Reliable Metal Detection Technology
Detection sorting is a process that involves the separation of metals from a product stream by assessing their conductivity or ferrous permeability. The system employs dependable metal detection technology to oversee the product stream. When a conductive or ferrous metal is detected, the sensor triggers either a reject gate or an air blast downstream to facilitate the automatic removal of the metal. MPI’s Detection Sorter is a sophisticated system crafted to automatically recognize and isolate metallic contaminants from a product stream. Leveraging cutting-edge metal detection technology, this system guarantees the elimination of undesirable ferrous and non-ferrous metals, safeguarding processing equipment and maintaining product integrity across diverse industries.

Detection Sorting Product Details
The Detection Sorter operates by continuously monitoring the product flow using high-sensitivity metal detection sensors. These sensors detect metallic contaminants based on two key properties:
- Conductivity Measurement – Identifies non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and stainless steel based on their electrical conductivity.
- Ferrous Permeability Detection – Recognizes ferrous metals like iron and steel based on their magnetic properties.
Once a metallic contaminant is detected, the system automatically activates a removal mechanism, which can be configured based on the application’s needs:
- Reject Gates – Mechanically diverts contaminated products from the product flow.
- Air Blast Systems – Uses a precisely timed burst of air to eject metal contaminants from the stream without disrupting operations.
Applications:
- Food Processing: Prevents metal contamination in packaged foods, grains, dairy, and baked goods.
- Recycling & Waste Management: Separates valuable metals from waste streams for efficient recycling.
- Pharmaceuticals: Ensures compliance with industry regulations by detecting metal contaminants in tablets and powders.
- Bulk Material Handling: Enhances sorting efficiency in industries such as mining, chemical processing, and plastics manufacturing.
