Eldan Recycling Foreign Object Detection system
Eldan Recycling A/S of Denmark has developed a sensor-based system to detect foreign objects in tire shreds, reducing the risk of breakdowns and downtime. Eldan’s Foreign Object Detection (FOD) system:
- consists of sensors that monitor the vibrating discharge conveyor following the Eldan Super Chopper
- detects changes in acceleration from objects hitting the surface, stopping the material flow of the plant and giving a warning signal
- enables the operator to search through the material on the vibrating discharge conveyor to find the foreign object and remove it
- comes with a backup safety system in case one of the sensors fails
- is being expanded to work with other types of input materials, such as cables
