In-line metal detector for plastics processing
In the plastics processing industry, minute metal particles in polymer melt can cause costly breakdowns during injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. This issue is escalating with the increased use of regranulate and regrind in production processes, elevating the risk of contamination.
Detect and remove metal contaminants efficiently
The Sesotec in-line metal detector is designed for installation before injection molding machines, extruders, and blow-molding machines to inspect slow-moving or standing material columns. Utilizing a detection coil with two-channel technology, it offers the highest sensitivity to all metals, whether magnetic or non-magnetic, even when they are embedded in the product. This system features an auto-learn function to compensate for the intrinsic conductivity of the inspected material, reducing the chances of operational errors. The ‘Quick-Valve’ separation unit ensures minimal loss of material by removing contaminants efficiently. Compatible with machines from other manufacturers using adapter plates, this metal detector guarantees secure operation even under large mechanical loads and high dust levels. Additionally, it comes with UL and CSA certifications, making it suitable for the North American market.
