Key Benefits:
Increase operational efficiency
helps increase the efficiency of the recycling process which can lead to more cost-effective operations. It reduces the chances of production downtime that could be caused by machine damage or maintenance.
Protect costly equipment
helping to prevent potential damage to valuable machinery such as crushers
Ultimately saves these facilities money in the long run
contributing to the production of higher quality and safer recycled plastic.
How do metal detectors in the recycling process ensure the quality of the recycled output?
-
Removing Contaminants: By accurately locating and eliminating metal contaminants in the recycling pipeline, metal detectors protect the integrity of the final recycled product. For example, metal particles can affect the color, strength, and consistency of recycled plastic.
-
Protecting Machinery: Metal contaminants can damage the recycling machinery, causing it to produce sub-standard recycled materials. By shielding the equipment from potential harm, metal detectors maintain the machine's ability to produce high-quality output.
-
Increasing Efficiency: Swift and precise metal detection improves the overall efficiency of the recycling process. It helps prevent disruptions and maintain a steady flow of materials, leading to consistent and high-quality output.
-
Eco-Friendly: By ensuring a thorough clean-up of recyclable materials, metal detectors aid in the production of eco-friendly and safe recycled products that are free of hazardous metal contaminants.
In essence, metal detectors contribute significantly to waste management and sustainability by enabling the production of high-quality recycled materials that are fit for purpose and safe for the environment.
What are some common types of metal contaminants that metal detectors can remove in recycling processes?
Metal detectors are quite versatile and capable of identifying a broad range of metal contaminants depending on their specific calibration. Here are some of the most common types of metal contaminants that these detectors can remove during the recycling process:
-
Ferrous Metals: These include iron and steel. They are considered magnetic, making them easier to detect and remove.
-
Non-Ferrous Metals: These metals, which include aluminum, copper, lead, tin, and zinc, are non-magnetic. However, metal detectors can still sense them due to their conductive properties.
-
Stainless Steel: Although more challenging to detect because of its lack of magnetic or conductive properties, most advanced metal detectors can identify stainless steel. This type of material is often seen in utensils or other kitchen wares that might inadvertently end up in recycling.
-
Aluminum and Tin Foil: Used for packaging and wrapping, these materials can easily slip into the recycling stream, especially in food or drink packages.
-
Metal Wires: This includes wires from electronic waste, which can potentially damage recycling machinery.
-
Metal Closures/Caps: These are typically found in glass or plastic recycling plants and are remnants from bottles and other types of packaging.
Metal detectors' ability to identify and remove these elements helps maintain both the integrity and the quality of the recycling process.
Can metal detectors be customized to detect specific types of metal contaminants in the recycling process?
YES.
Metal detectors can be customized to detect specific types of metal contaminants in the recycling process. This customization is usually based on factors like the type of material being recycled, the size of the contaminant, and the type of metal.
The sensitivity of the metal detector can be adjusted based on the size of the metal contaminants that they need to detect. For example, if a plant is mostly concerned about large pieces of metal that can cause severe damage to their machines, the detector can be calibrated to respond to larger pieces and might ignore smaller ones that pose less threat.
Multiple reject system types are available, and the correct choice entirely depends on the application.
JINDU'S reject types for different applications:
-Air Blast - This can consist of either a single or dual nozzle system which is designed to be used with products that are wrapped and weigh up to 0.8kg
-Pusher - The pusher is designed to be either side or overhead the conveyor for wrapped product in rigid packaging and is also available with heavy duty construction. If polybagged product is used a brush strip is needed under the pusher blade to reduce trapping.
-Carriage Retract - Ideal for continuous loose product, separate products in parallel lanes across the belt, polybags and sachets.
-Diverter / Plough - Typically used on more delicate or higher value products using a sweeping action to reject contaminant products.
-Power Decliner - Situated at the end of the out the outfeed conveyor, products exit via the decliner onto another conveyor to then be rejected.
Stop on Detect conveyors:
Stop on Detect (or belt stop alarm) conveyors are the simplest reject conveyor available. They are normally associated with large bulk or awkward shaped products that are placed onto the production line by hand and typically consist of head sizes of around 550mm x 300mm. Any product that is contaminated is removed from the line once the alarm goes off and the belt has stopped.
Bespoke conveyor systems
JINDU produce a wide range of metal detector conveyor systems for a host of bespoke food and packaging applications. Some of JINDU's recent systems include: extra large reject bins for oversized products, incline and decline conveyors, very high line height, dual lane systems and much more.
JINDU has installed food metal detectors across many different industries, having over 5,000 installed worldwide. We have developed an extensive library of food industry applications and case studies.
Food Industries
Examples of food industries that we have experience in include:
- Bakery or Baked Goods
- Dairy, Milk, Yogurt
- Fruit and Vegetables
- Ready Meals
- Fish and Seafood
- Sushi
- Snacks and Biscuits
- Candy, Sweets or Confectionery
- Meat
- Poultry
- Cereals and Grains
- Beverages, Drinks, Juice, or Water
Some of our cases shows:
Types of Contaminants
There are three main groups of metallic contaminants that a food metal detector can sense:
-Ferrous
-Non-Ferrous
-Stainless Steel detection depends on the magnetic or conductive properties of the contaminant.
-Ferrous metal contaminants are both magnetic and conductive and are easily detected
-Although they are not magnetic, Non-Ferrous contaminants are good conductors and can be detected relatively easily
-Stainless Steel foreign bodies are the most difficult to pick-up as they are usually non-magnetic and a poor electrical conductor. The ability to detect stainless steel is also hindered when the product is wet or has a high salt content
If there are other types of contaminants (glass, calcified bone, ceramics, stone) to be detected, then an X-ray inspection system for food will offer enhanced detection capabilities.
Types of Metal Detector for the Food Industry:
Search Heads Conveyor based Systems Pipeline for Pumped Products Vertical Fall or Gravity Feed
All of these systems must be of a hygienic design specific to the particular type of food or beverage being inspected, and to suit the cleaning methods.
Foil-Packed Products
Foil tray products that are packed in metal, in aluminium or wrapped in aluminium foil will normally be passed through a conventional metal detector system before they are packed. When this is not possible, products packed in foil must go through a specialist 'ferrous-in-foil' detector,
Where should I put a food metal detector?
Metal detectors can be used throughout the food production process in order to protect consumers by detecting metallic contaminants and preventing the contaminated food from ending up on retailers' shelves. With packed products, a food metal detector can be placed at the end of line for a final product inspection of metal contaminants.
Food metal detectors can also be used in line to protect other machinery that is downstream. A metal detector is normally installed before the machine to detect metal particles in order to help prevent damage to processing equipment, which can cause downtime and costly repairs.
