Metal separator

METRO SF metal separators remove magnetic and non-magnetic metal particles (steel, stainless steel, aluminium etc) from free-falling bulk materials. Metal contaminants (even those contained in granulate) are removed by means of a specially designed reject flap (“Quick Flap System”). A further advantage of the “Quick Flap System” is the minimal loss of good material.

METRO SC metal separators remove magnetic and nonmagnetic metal particles (steel, stainless steel, aluminium etc) from pneumatically conveyed bulk materials such as granulates and regranulates. Metal contaminants (even those contained in granulate) are removed by means of a specially designed reject flap (‘Quick Flap System’) which operates reliably and effectively even at high speeds, without any interruption to the material flow. Contaminated material is rejected into a container. The reject container is emptied automatically. A further advantage of the “Quick Flap System” is the minimal loss of good material.

The METRO SM metal separator is installed directly above the material infeed of an extruder, injection moulding or blow moulding machine. Other features include high sensitivity across all metals, an extremely compact, space-saving design and the ability to operate successfully with all conveying systems especially vacuum conveyors.
