Cooling & Metal Detector Conveyor Belts

At UPM Conveyors, we design and manufacture high-performance cooling conveyor belts and metal detector conveyor systems that are built around your process. Whether your priority is temperature control, contamination detection, or both, our bespoke solutions ensure consistent product quality, improved safety, and reduced operational costs.

Our range of cooling conveyor belts and conveyor metal detectors is trusted across industries, including food production, recycling, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and bulk material handling.

Integrated Metal Detection for Conveyor Systems

Metal contamination can cause severe damage to processing equipment and lead to costly downtime. Our advanced metal detector conveyor solutions are engineered to detect even the smallest contaminants while maintaining production flow.

Underbelt Metal Detection

The 6600 Underbelt Metal Detector is specifically designed for inclined and flat conveyors, providing reliable detection without interrupting material flow.

Why choose this system:

  • Protects crushers, shredders, and downstream machinery
  • Minimises downtime and maintenance costs
  • Improves recovered material quality and value

Key Features:

  • Cost-effective and easy to retrofit
  • Compact, lightweight control unit
  • Detects both ferrous and non-ferrous metals
  • Plug-in search coils for flexibility
  • Full belt-width sensing coverage
  • Reduced electrical interference
  • CE-EMC compliant

This solution is ideal for bulk handling and recycling operations where durability and reliability are essential.

Tunnel Metal Detector Conveyor Systems

Our conveyor metal detectors in tunnel configuration provide high-sensitivity inspection for packaged and loose products. These systems are widely used in food and pharmaceutical environments where product purity is critical.

Core Advantages:

  • Detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants
  • Ensures compliance with quality and safety standards
  • Integrates seamlessly with reject systems

Advanced Features:

  • Balanced coil technology for superior sensitivity
  • Simple operation with micro-controller interface
  • Stores up to 10 product settings for fast changeovers
  • Password-protected controls for security
  • 2-line LCD display for real-time monitoring
  • Product compensation to reduce false rejects
  • Surface Mount Technology (SMT) for long-term reliability
  • Remote monitoring and reject device integration

Available in hygienic stainless steel or painted finishes, these metal detector conveyor systems are built for demanding production environments.

High-Performance Cooling Conveyor Belt Systems

Temperature control is critical in many production processes. Our cooling conveyor belt solutions are designed to efficiently reduce product temperature while maintaining throughput and product integrity.

Under Belt Cooling Conveyor Belts

These cooling conveyor belts feature integrated fans positioned beneath an open link belt, allowing ambient air to flow directly onto the product.

Benefits:

  • Efficient cooling prior to storage or packaging
  • Maintains product quality and consistency
  • Reduces handling time and bottlenecks

Technical Specifications:

  • Installed beneath a 22% open link belt surface
  • 175mm die-cast aluminium fan units with steel impellers
  • Ball bearing motors with thermal protection and auto reset
  • 1-phase 220V AC power supply
  • Low noise level of 55 dBA
  • Airflow of 375 m³/h per fan

Fan quantity is tailored to suit belt width and required cooling performance, ensuring every cooling conveyor belt is optimised for your process.

Air / Heat Exchanger Cooling Conveyor Systems

For applications requiring enhanced or controlled cooling, our overhead systems use ambient or chilled air delivered through a heat exchanger.

Key Advantages:

  • Suitable for temperature-sensitive products
  • Even and controlled airflow across the belt
  • Can be integrated into hygienic or enclosed systems

System Features:

  • Over-belt mounted cooling fans
  • Thermal protection with automatic reset
  • 1-phase 220V AC supply
  • Quiet operation at 55 dBA
  • Airflow of ~1375 m³/h per fan

These systems are ideal for industries that require precise cooling, including food processing and plastics manufacturing.

Combined Cooling & Metal Detector Conveyor Solutions

For maximum efficiency, UPM Conveyors can integrate cooling conveyor belts with conveyor metal detectors into a single, streamlined system. This allows products to be cooled and inspected simultaneously, reducing footprint and improving workflow.

Benefits of integration:

  • Space-saving system design
  • Improved production efficiency
  • Reduced handling and transfer points
  • Enhanced product safety and quality control
