Your Questions Answered

How can tramp metal detection protect our shredders and balers?

PCP tramp metal detectors stop conveyors before damaging metal reaches critical machines.

No — Metal detectors are designed to meet the requirements of each processing line.

Systems are designed in a bespoke manner to suit the specific application, however, a temporary metal detection system can be deployed until the permanent solution arrives on site.

Will detection slow down throughput?

Metal Detection minimises damage and disruption to the process.

Yes — Metal detectors combined with magnets can be used successfully to detect crushing, grinding and shredding on mixed waste streams.

No.

Yes — preventing tramp metal ingress extends machinery life significantly.

Yes — coils, sensors, and spares are stocked in Ireland.

We provide a quick, effective call out service.

Are detectors high-maintenance?

No — only simple calibration and visual checks are required.

Yes — we provide training for in-house servicing.

Yes — integration into PLC/E-stop is standard.

How does tramp metal detection support compliance?

It prevents equipment failures that could cause leaks, fires, or environmental incidents.

Yes — all events can be recorded for compliance reports.

Will detection help us meet end-product quality standards?

Yes — removing tramp metal improves purity and reduces contamination.

Yes — systems are widely used in biomass and RDF feed applications.

Yes — by removing tramp metal, fire and explosion risks are significantly reduced.

Can detectors be tuned for different feed materials?

Yes — sensitivity can be adjusted depending on material density.

No — they identify tramp metal without affecting material flow.

Yes — full automation with plant SCADA is standard.

How do detectors extend equipment life?

By stopping unnecessary tramp metal ingress into the plant the metal detector increases the operational lifespan of the processing equipment.

Yes — modular systems expand as operations grow.

Do systems reduce insurance risks?

Yes — proactive detection lowers the risk of catastrophic breakdowns.

Yes — PCP offers service agreements and lifecycle support.

Where should tramp metal detectors be installed in a mining operation?

Key points include before crushers, screens, and mills — the most vulnerable equipment.

Yes — sensitivity is adjustable to match varying mineral feeds.

Yes — they connect directly to PLC/SCADA systems.

Are detectors suitable for extremely high-tonnage conveyors?

Yes — our systems are built for heavy-duty, continuous high-volume operations.

Yes — ruggedised housings and components withstand mining conditions.

How often do tramp metal detectors need calibration?

Typically Once a year, depending on site conditions.

Yes — PCP trains maintenance crews for calibration and repairs.

Yes — Our systems run on 24V or generator power, suited for remote operations.

Are systems prone to false alarms in harsh mining environments?

No — sensitivity is tuned to avoid nuisance trips.

Yes — spares are available locally for fast supply.

Can tramp metal detection be installed during mine expansions?

Yes — systems integrate easily during upgrade projects.

Minimal — detectors typically bolt directly to conveyor structures.

Yes — full installation, testing, and handover are included.

Do you provide CAD/BIM drawings for integration?

Yes — full design documentation is supplied.

Quick — retrofit units can be installed in hours.

Yes — modular systems expand with throughput.

Do detectors reduce insurance and compliance risk?

Yes — systems reduce the risk of catastrophic equipment failures and environmental incidents.

Yes — full lifecycle support and maintenance agreements are available.

Do tramp metal systems extend equipment life?

Yes — by stopping damaging metal, they extend the lifespan of crushers and conveyors.
