Heavy-Duty Metal Detectors for your process

Find tramp metal in demanding industrial bulk-material streams.

ADS SurroundScan systems address industrial metal-detection duties in materials such as aggregates, recycling feed and other bulk products. Select the detector around the conveyor structure, material bed, metal target and the response needed to protect downstream equipment.

Example: Detect a tramp-metal item before aggregate reaches a crusher.

Also known as: Tramp metal detectors, industrial conveyor metal detectors, SurroundScan Protector systems.

Review the target

large equipment-damaging metal and smaller quality contaminants are different duties.

Account for the conveyor

belt width, speed, structure and metal-free space influence installation.

Choose the response

alarms, belt stops or a suitable removal strategy need integration.

How It Works

Move the bulk stream through the detection field

Detect the target metal

Trigger the agreed alarm or handling response

Typical Materials & Industries

Aggregates and mining

tramp metal can damage downstream processing equipment.

Wood and recycling

variable streams require careful target and feed review.

Plastics and industrial regrind

compare the detector configuration with the required sensitivity.

Protector HD in aggregate service

ADS shows a Protector HD arrangement handling an aggregate conveyor duty. Watch the installation and material stream when considering the upstream protection point.

Watch on the manufacturer’s official channel

Application & Process Context

Product condition, moisture, pack or stream dimensions, belt speed or free-fall rate, metal targets, available space, and the required reject or stop response.

Configuration & Application Review

Equipment duty: Find tramp metal in demanding industrial bulk-material streams.
Selection basis: Product condition, moisture, pack or stream dimensions, belt speed or free-fall rate, metal targets, available space, and the required reject or stop response.
Available configuration review: Protector family configuration, Aperture and belt fit, Controls and alarms, Conveyor stop interface, Mounting arrangement, Application-specific product testing.
Application verification: No. ADS offers different industrial configurations. Review the material, target metal, aperture and operating environment rather than selecting only by the family name.

Application Questions

Is every SurroundScan model equivalent?

No. ADS offers different industrial configurations. Review the material, target metal, aperture and operating environment rather than selecting only by the family name.

What should I send RTS for a review?

Product condition, moisture, pack or stream dimensions, belt speed or free-fall rate, metal targets, available space, and the required reject or stop response.

Inspect food

Food-Grade Metal Detectors >>

Inspect food products for unwanted metal in a controlled line arrangement.

Example: Inspect packaged bakery products and reject affected packs without losing track of them.

Also known as: Food metal detectors, conveyor metal detectors, ProScan systems.

Inspect free fall

Gravity-Drop Metal Detectors >>

Inspect a free-falling dry-solids stream before the next process.

Example: Inspect dry grain or another suitable ingredient before it enters a downstream process.

Also known as: Gravity-fall metal detectors, free-fall metal detectors, gravity-drop ProScan systems.
