General Features
RAPID 8000 Metal Detection System Features
- The separation unit and metal parts in contact with the product are made entirely of 1.4301 (AISI 304) stainless steel
- The low installation height, even at large nominal widths, ensures easy integration of the metal separator into existing pipe systems
- Quick installation with minimal effort thanks to the standard Jacob connection system
- Automatic teach-in function or manual product compensation for improved adaptation to the specific conductivity of the product being inspected (no fixed settings)
- Enhanced immunity to electromagnetic interference and vibration
- Maximum detection sensitivity for all metals
Function
The RAPID 8000 metal separator is used to inspect bulk materials in free-fall conveying pipes, starting at a nominal width of 200 mm. It detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminants (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), even when embedded in the product. Metal contaminants are rejected using a rotating hopper. The reject outlet has a dust-tight design during normal operation.
The RAPID 8000 metal separator is primarily used in food industry applications with high hygiene requirements.
Control Unit
- Maximum sensitivity to all metals (2-channel technology)
- Digital signal processing and quartz-stabilized detection frequency
- State-of-the-art microprocessor technology with self-monitoring, automatic balancing, and temperature compensation
- Product compensation with automatic teach-in function
- Multi-product memory
- Password protection / access protection
- Special EMC combination filter to suppress external interference
Application
- Incoming inspection of coarse- and fine-grained bulk materials with a high dust content, ingredients, raw materials, etc. before the processing machine (e.g., a mill) for product purity and machine protection.
- Quality control of powdered food products, sugar, salt, chemical additives (e.g., ascorbic acid, surfactants), etc. immediately before filling into bulk bags and silos (product purity).
Typical Application Areas
- Chemical industry
- Food industry
- Animal feed industry
