Metal Separators - SEP-1D
Plastic
resins. Sugar. Pelletized chemicals. Flour. Pharmaceuticals. Cement
Powder. All those and countless other dry ingredients can get contaminated
with stray metal which can damage equipment, cause product defects
or shut down production.
Tramp metal is present in most resin supplies and one piece can
bring the whole production process to a grinding halt. Our metal
separators will keep your production process running and the same
benefits can be realized in any industry using mixers, cutters,
grinders, etc.
More Than Magnets
The patented Guardian SEP-1D Metal Separator,
incorporates refinements derived from over 20 years of use in American
plants. It removes all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including
stainless steel, brass and aluminum. Guardian's unique electronic
detector reacts to pieces as small as 0.5 mm by employing a high
sensitivity inductance system like those used in airports. Other
devices based on magnetism can isolate only ferrous metals which
lack the uniform detection field of the SEP-1D. Because of this,
and the frequent need for cleaning, magnets allow metal to pass
through the process. However, the Guardian's uniform detection field
prevents scrap metal from continuing through the process and there
are no cleaning requirements.
Functional Simplicity
All that's required for successful operation
is free flowing material which is predominantly non-metallic.
Because the SEP-1D has a stainless
steel flow passage which requires no periodic cleaning, it's ideal
for use with foodstuffs and chemicals alike. It can be used as a
separate device on a batch basis, or it can be built into line processing
equipment as an integral component of bulk material flow system.
Various combinations of flow rate and sensitivities will meet almost
any plant demand.
The quiet operation and low
maintenance makes it easy to forget about your tramp metal problems.
Sequence Of Operation
1. Material flows by gravity into the SEP-1D
and through the sensing ring, unimpeded, unless metal is detected.
2. When metal as small as 0.5 mm passes through
the sensing ring, the detector circuit actuates and the ultra-high
speed mechanism that diverts the material flow containing the metal
into a separate container.
3. As soon as the metal is diverted, the flow
returns to its original position and processing continues.
