General Features
GF Metal Detection System Features
- Offers the highest sensitivity for all metals with high immunity to vibration and electromagnetic interference
- Separates metallic contaminants without disrupting production flow or reducing conveying speed
- The slide valve prevents air leakage in the pipeline
- The mounting frame enables quick and easy installation; the mounting position (vertical or horizontal) can be selected on site
- Equipped with stainless steel separation mechanics, connections, and separation flaps (1.4301)
- All units are pre-assembled for easy installation; its compact design saves space
- Minimal loss of good material with the "Quick Flap" separation unit
- Easy operation of the control unit with preset parameters
- Auto-Set (automatic teach-in function) or manual product compensation for improved adaptation to the specific conductivity of the product being inspected (no fixed settings)
Function
Small metal particles in the plastic melting process often cause costly damage to injection molds, extruders, and blow molds. The amount of such metal contaminants increases during the processing of regranulates and regrind. As a result, clogged nozzles, filters, and hot runner systems can cause production interruptions and delivery delays.
The GF metal separator is used in vacuum and pressure pipelines to protect injection molds and processing machines.
It detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminants (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), even when embedded in the product. Metal contaminants are rejected by the "Quick Flap" separation unit.
