Description
Metal separator for free-fall applications
The RAPID 6000 metal separator is used for the inspection of bulk materials in free-fall conveyor pipes. It detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminations (steel, stainless steel, aluminium, …) – even if such contaminations are embedded in the product. Metal contaminations are rejected by means of a swivel hopper. The RAPID 6000 metal separator primarily is used in industries with high hygienic demands. The chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry and food industry are the typical fields of application.
