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
• Separation unit and product-contacting metal parts completely made of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304))
• Low installation height; the metal separator can be easily fitted into existing pipeline systems
• 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
• Standard Jacobs adaptors for inlet and outlet ensure quick, hassle-free installation
• Auto-Set (auto-teach function) or manual product compensation (no fixed setting) for improved adaptation to the intrinsic conductivity of the product to be inspected
• Pre-installed parameters for simplified operation
• Enhanced signal-to-noise-ratio minimises electromagnetic pollution and vibrations

 

Product description

The RAPID VARIO-FS metal separator is used to inspect bulk goods under free-fall conditions. It detects all magnetic and nonmagnetic metal contaminations (steel, stainless steel, aluminium) – even when enclosed in the product. Metal contaminations are rejected through the “Quick Flap” reject unit. The RAPID VARIO-FS is used mainly in industries with low hygiene applications.

 

Function chart

Applications

The RAPID PRO-SENSE metal separator primarily is used for quality inspection (product purity) in the production and compounding of plastic granulate, where it typically is installed directly before the material is filled in bigbags, octabins, or silos. The metal separator also is used for quality inspection in the incoming goods department of plastic-processing plants (product purity, machine protection).
