Typical performance: ferrous metals down to 1.0mm diameter, non-ferrous down to 1.5-2.0mm, and stainless steel down to 2.0-3.0mm. Smaller apertures provide higher sensitivity for fine contaminants.<\/p>\n        <\/details>\n        <details>\n          <summary>\n            Can it work with my existing conveyor system?\n            <svg class=\"chev\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"6 9 12 15 18 9\"><\/polyline><\/svg>\n          <\/summary>\n          <p>Yes, metal detectors are designed to integrate with existing conveyor systems. We custom-size the aperture to match your belt width and material depth.

Standard configuration requires manual line stoppage to remove the contaminant. For automated operations, optional rejection systems (air blast diverters, mechanical pusher arms, or drop-flap gates) can be integrated to automatically divert contaminated material into a reject bin without stopping the line.<\/p>\n        <\/details>\n        <details>\n          <summary>\n            Does moisture or product variation affect detection?\n            <svg class=\"chev\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"6 9 12 15 18 9\"><\/polyline><\/svg>\n          <\/summary>\n          <p>Modern detectors include automatic product compensation to adjust for moisture content, temperature, and material density variations.

Recalibration is needed after relocating the unit, changing conveyor configuration, or if test piece verification fails. Some facilities calibrate weekly for critical applications or regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n        <\/details>\n        <details>\n          <summary>\n            Can I customize the aperture size?\n            <svg class=\"chev\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"6 9 12 15 18 9\"><\/polyline><\/svg>\n          <\/summary>\n          <p>Absolutely. We custom-build apertures to match your specific belt width (300mm to 1500mm+) and material bed height (80mm to 300mm+).
