Tunnel metal detector METRON 07 CI
The METRON 07 CI tunnel metal detector with integrated control unit tunnel metal detector is used to detect metal particles in products transported on the conveyor belts. The imagePHASE system enables product visualization on the control unit display.
It is a synonym for metal detectors with high detection accuracy and reliability.This detector is fitted with a top-class AMD 07 control unit with a range of advanced functions. Its operation is simple and intuitive thanks to the touch screen
The METRON 07 CI metal detector enables the metal detection in materials transported on a conveyor belt with a speed of up to 30 m/s!
The space requirements for the installation of the METRON 07 CI metal detector are minimal – thanks to the mesuCAGE technology, a needed metal-free area has been significantly reduced.
Principle advantages of a tunnel metal detector
- Tunnel detector for installation into the conveyer strand. All metal particles are detected and it is both off-shell particles and the ones in the form of inclusions in the end product. High sensitivity in all industrial ambients.
- User friendly and reliable technology proven by the use of many years.
- It is used either for quality inspection of the product being porcessed or as a protection of technology.
- Minimum dimensional requirements (reduction of the range of the area that metal object can occur in) thanks to mesuCAGE technology.
- It conforms to the quality requirements as per HACCP, IFS, BRC and SQF systems.
The METRON 07 CI tunnel metal detector is:
- Reliable – in process and detection
- Durable – in technology and performance
- Comfortable – in design and data management
Optional equipment
The METRON 07 CI detectors can be supplied with a wide range of additional equipment:
- Signal units – beacon, buzzer, beacon with siren
- Metal spheres in plastic to verify sensitivity of the detector

Metal free zone - MFZ
It is essential for the proper metal detector functioning that there are no fixed (e.g. conveyor structure, its covering) or moving metal parts (e.g. conveyor rollers) in the proximity of the detector’s aperture. Therefore, the MFZ is defined for each detector and it should not contain moving or fixed metals. The aperture of the metal detector is to be placed in the middle of this metal free zone. When you observe the MFZ when installing the detector, you will prevent false alarms and false detections and contribute to the correct detector operation.
Contact us – we will help you with the MFZ calculation for moving and fixed metals.
Sensitivity of a metal detector
The detector's sensitivity depends on many parameters, such as the aperture dimensions (the lower is the aperture height, the higher is the detector sensitivity), the conveyor belt speed, the density of the product, its temperature and humidity, etc.
Maximum obtainable sensitivity can be established by testing your product sample in our laboratory. We will perform these tests free of charge. Please contact us, we will discuss the test execution as well as the dispatch of your material samples.
