Free fall metal detector QUICKTRON 03 E

The gravity metal detector QUICKTRON 03 E is used to detect and reject metal contaminants from bulk materials gravitationally transported in pipelines. It is often used for detecting metals in plastic foil flakes.

As the gravity-fed foil flakes could clog the pipeline, this detector is fitted with a double reject flap. This prevents pipe clogging and minimizes good material loss without the interruption of the material flow.

The detector is equipped with high-quality components ensuring the maximum endurance of the entire device.

The control unit is very simple to operate, stable and resistant.

Principle advantages of a gravity free-fall style metal detector

• Metal detector for detection from foil flacons.
• Automatic detection and separation of metals without the interrption of the production process.
• All metals both free and hidden in the material are detected..
• Evaluation electronics with synoptically organized buttons for easy putting in operation and control.
• Double flap and big diameters of pipeline available ensure the fluent flow of material and it is at very light v-shaped flacons.

Working principle

The metal detector of the Quicktron series is installed into a pipeline used for the transport of free-falling bulk materials.

The inspected material passes through the reject assembly. If the material is contaminated with metal particles, the contaminant in the product stream alters the high frequency field generated by the search coil. The electronics evaluate this signal and generate an impulse for the solenoid valve and double actuating air cylinder of the reject assembly. The dual reject flap prevents the detector from clogging. The contaminant is instantly diverted from the good product stream assuring minimal good product loss. The reject flap then automatically returns to its normal position. The detector operation including the elimination of contaminants is fully automatic.

Thanks to the high-speed reject flap, its operation is very fast and accurate, enabling minimization of the good material loss.The reject time is adjustable.

The QUICKTRON 03 E gravity free-fall style metal detector is:

• Reliable – in process and detection
• Durable – in technology and performance
• Easy - installation and operation
