Description
Metal separator for free-fall applications
- Detects and separates magnetic and non-magnetic metal contamination, even when enclosed in product
- Reduces expensive machinery failure and minimises production downtime
- Ensures product quality
- Prevents customer complaints
- Break even within a very short period of time
- Separated detection and separation units: – Free-fall height can be individually adjusted on site – Position of waste reject unit can be turned to match position of collecting tray
- Learn automatic or manual product compensation (not pre-adjusted) to improve adaption to product and conveyor belt conductivity
- Pre-installed parameters simplify operation
- High scanning sensitivity to all metals
- Minimal waste through „Quick-Flap“ rejection system
- Low installation height, the metal separator can be easily fitted into existing pipeline systems
- Standard adaptor system Jacob-Rohrbau (= Jacob pipe system) enables quick, hassle-free installation
- Increased signal-to-noise-ratio towards electromagnetic pollution and vibrations
