MetAlarm Metal Detector for Aggregates Market

At Hillhead 2024, held at the UK’s largest quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition, USA-based company Eriez has launched its new MetAlarm metal detector tailored for the aggregates sector.

According to Eriez, one of the global leaders in separation technologies, this “latest innovation marks a significant technological advancement in signal processing”. Engineered with a focus on ruggedness, reliability, and ease of use, the MetAlarm had been developed based on direct customer input to meet the industry’s most rigorous demands.

As underlined, the new apparatus is specifically designed for installation in fixed-site quarries and mobile crushing plants. “Its advanced detection algorithms are optimized to reliably detect damaging iron and manganese steel, providing superior protection for crushers, screens, and conveyor belts”, the provider assures. The MetAlarm was developed in collaboration with Cardiff University.

MetAlarm prototype testing has garnered exceptionally positive feedback Eriez gave account. “Heidelberg Materials reported a significant reduction in equipment downtime due to blockages at its quarry near Pontypridd, Wales. This improvement has boosted production and throughput, leading to substantial cost and time savings.”
