Description
Metal separator for free-fall applications
- Metal separator for the inspection of powdery, fibrous and chunky bulk materials
- Detects magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminations
- Separation by way of swivel hopper
- Dust-proof reject outlet design
- Hygienic design for easy cleaning
- Complies with IFS and HACCP
- Separation unit and product-contacting metal parts completely made of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304)
- Low mounting height even with large nominal widths guarantees easy integration of the metal separator in existing pipe systems
- Quick and minimum-effort installation due to standard Jacob connection system
- Auto-learn function or manual product compensation (no fixed setting) for improved adaptation to the intrinsic conductivity of the product to be inspected
- Increased interference immunity to electromagnetic pollution and vibration
- Highest scanning sensitivity for all metals
Function
The RAPID 8000 metal separator is used for the inspection of bulk materials in free-fall conveyor pipes starting from a nominal width of 200 mm. It detects all magnetic and nonmagnetic 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 reject outlet is of dust-proof design during normal operation.
The RAPID 8000 metal separator primarily is used in the food industry in applications with high hygienic demands.
