Series LRO-A conveyor belt metal detector is an essential equipment used in various industries, particularly in mining applications, to be designed to detect and remove tramp metal from materials being transported on a conveyor belt. Tramp metal refers to any unwanted ferrous or nonferrous metal that can potentially damage crushers or other processing equipment, leading to costly downtime and repairs. The key features of a conveyor belt metal detector include its ability to detect all types of tramp metal, its heavy-duty construction suitable for harsh conditions, easy installation without cutting the existing belt, adjustable sensitivity and detection levels, and the availability of an electronic control panel and optional extras like a belt joint splice detector.
Series LRO-A conveyor belt metal detector is a crucial device for identifying and removing tramp metal in mining and other industrial applications. It offers features such as all-metal detection capability, robust construction, easy installation, adjustable sensitivity, and an electronic control panel for seamless operation and configuration.
Installation:
Selecting the appropriate location: Choose a position along the conveyor belt where the metal detector can effectively scan the material without hindering the flow or causing material spillage.
Mounting the metal detector: Securely attach the metal detector unit to a sturdy frame or support structure using bolts or clamps. Ensure proper alignment with the conveyor belt.
Connecting power supply: Connect the power source to the metal detector unit as per the manufacturer‘s instructions. This may involve wiring the detector to a control panel or power distribution box.
Integrating with the conveyor system: Connect the metal detector‘s input and output signals to the conveyor control system.
Electronic control panel function introduction:
Operation:
Powering on the system: Activate the power supply to the metal detector unit using the control panel or switch.
Calibration: Perform a calibration process to set the detection sensitivity and level according to the specific requirements of the application. This calibration ensures accurate detection while minimizing false alarms.
Running the conveyor: Start the conveyor belt to transport the material through the metal detector zone.
Metal detection: As the material passes through the metal detector, it emits electromagnetic fields that interact with any tramp metal present. The detector‘s sensors analyze the signals and trigger an alarm or stop the conveyor if metal is detected.
Alarm and rejection mechanism: If metal is detected, an audible and/or visual alarm is activated, and the system can be configured to automatically stop the conveyor to prevent damage to downstream equipment.
Electronic control panel function introduction:

The metal detector‘s electronic control panel serves two functions. Firstly, it controls the device‘s operation and settings. Secondly, it processes and analyses the signals from the sensors to detect any metallic object present in the material. |
Splice detector is available:
Optional extras: The control panel may offer additional features or optional extras, such as a belt joint splice detector. This feature specifically recognizes belt metal joints or splices and provides additional protection against potential damage or belt failure at those points.
