Sesotec Detection Unit RG is a metal-detection system developed for precise detection of metallic foreign bodies in granules, powders, fibres and similar bulk materials flowing through free-fall pipelines in plastics processing and other industrial applications.
By detecting metal contamination at an early stage in plastics-production processes, the system helps reduce machine damage, production downtime and quality problems.
Detection Unit RG uses advanced inductive metal-detection technology capable of detecting both magnetic and non-magnetic metallic foreign bodies.
- Detection of ferrous metals
- Detection of non-ferrous metals such as aluminium
- Detection of copper and brass particles
- Detection of stainless-steel contamination
- Single- or dual-frequency technology
- Frequency bandwidth up to 600 kHz
- Nominal diameters: 50–250 mm
- Ferrous detection sensitivity: from Ø 0.30 mm
- Stainless-steel detection sensitivity: from Ø 0.50 mm
- Maximum capacity: 69,000 l/h
- Protection rating: IP65
- Available in 7 different sizes
- Installation height: 482–738 mm
- Ambient temperature: -10°C to +50°C
- Maximum product temperature: +80°C
- Optimum conveying speed: 0.1–5 m/s
- Maximum conveying speed: up to 25 m/s
- Suitable for unpressurised pipelines or pipelines up to 0.1 bar
Detection Unit RG is designed for integration into pipelines where material flows freely under gravity. Plastic raw materials in granule or powder form can be checked for metal contamination before reaching the production line.
- Plastic granules
- Plastic regrind
- Flakes
- Powdered products
- Fibrous materials
- Bulk raw materials
- Free-flowing plastic raw materials
