Metal Detection
Industrial Metal Detectors & Metal Detection Equipment
Metal Detection for the food, plastics, recycling, manufacturing, and other processing industries.
The most common of foreign material within processing is metal. Bunting® Metal Detection equipment senses and removes the presence of ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless metals in the process flow — in-line, in free-fall applications, and in conjunction with conveyors. These units also find metal encapsulated in the individual particle.
Successful detection and separation of metal will protect your processing equipment from damage, which saves your organization money and down time.

Features of all Bunting® Metal Detection Equipment
Innovative triple coil design
Bunting® Metal Detectors utilize triple coil design for the search head. This is comprised of windings around an aperture opening, whether round, or rectangular. There is a transmitter in the center, and two receivers (one at entrance of the search head, and one at the exit). Within the aperture opening, an electromagnetic field is created. When a piece of metal passes through the coil opening, a signal is generated and calculated at each and activates further operations or devices.
Resistant to water, vibration, and other interference
Metal detectors are highly sensitive pieces of equipment, and need to be protected from environmental interferences such as vibration and other electrical fields.
All search heads are filled with a catalyzed epoxy. There are no empty voids inside the housing, thereby eliminating the possibility of water intrusion to the coil, making them easy to clean. This exclusive epoxy also reduces the effect of vibration to the search head. Coils and electronics can be rated from IP54, to IP66 and IP69K.
Additionally the search head is manufactured with a special shielding against outside interferences. This allows Bunting® Metal Detectors to perform better in difficult environments, and require shorter metal free zones than our competition.
Software for enhanced quality control
Depending on the level of electronics you select, Bunting® Metal Detectors have recording and reporting functions within the software. Optional features allow your organization to network detectors for remote monitoring, reporting or control.

meTRON™ 07 CI Metal Detector with Bulk Sense Kit
Accurately detects metal in 50lb-100lb bags of dry product such as large bags of flour, powder, and other dry bulk products.
Gravity Free-Fall Style Metal Separators - Recycling and Plastics
Automatically detects all ferrous and non-ferrous metals without process interruptions by separating contaminated materials from product flow.
Pneumatic Style Metal Separators
These metal separators detect and reject all metal types in enclosed pipe systems. Easy operation, fast-acting reject flap, and maintenance-free.
Cleaning Systems
Cleaning systems use magnetic and electronic separators to remove both ferrous and nonferrous contaminants efficiently from free-flowing virgin resins, regrind, and recycled plastics.
Gaylord Cleaning Station
The Gaylord Cleaning Station combines a Bunting drawer magnet with an electronic metal detector to remove ferrous and nonferrous contaminants.
Tunnel Style Metal Detectors with Conveyors
Tunnel style metal detectors can be used to inspect raw foods or for final inspection in a packaging line, to make sure their is no metal in the product before shipping to the customer.
Gravity Free-Fall Style Metal Detectors
Metal Detectors that are used to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals as they pass through a detector in gravity free-fall applications.
Gravity Free-Fall Metal Separators - Food, Powder & Bulk
Automatically detects and rejects ferrous and nonferrous contaminants from product flow, safely and efficiently.
Pipeline Style Metal Separators
In our pipeline series, we have two styles, the pipeLINE™ system is used for liquids or pastes in pressure conveying lines. The meatLINE™ system is also used for liquids or pastes but it uses simple integration with a vacuum filter.
Metal Detectors for Conveyors - Recycling and Plastics
Our metal detection equipment works in conjunction with our conveyors to protect your product and equipment from damage. For under-the-belt and over-the-belt conveying for product inspection.
TN77 Conveyor Belt Metal Detector
The electronic TN77 metal detector is a tunnel-type unit that is generally installed onto conveyor systems for the detection of ferrous and manganese steels.
Pharmaceutical Metal Detector
Our metal detector for the pharmaceutical industry inspects pills and capsules with ultra-fast processing, fast cleaning and sanitizing, with easy maintenance.
