Monitor scans residue streams for metal

Eriez® offers the Metal Loss Monitor (MLM) for use in materials recovery facilities (MRF) and municipal solid waste (MSW) applications. It continually scans residue streams for metal that has escaped the process and is headed for landfill disposal.

The monitor typically is positioned on the final waste stream conveyor. It has a counter that can be reset hourly, daily, or for each disposal truck load. The data acquisition and reporting package gives plant managers the ability to see trends in metal losses. Operators receive text or email alerts when metal content exceeds thresholds.
