Mettler-Toledo Safeline has introduced its new cost-effective metal detector. Designed for dry processing applications, the Gravity FlowSD metal detector can detect ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel contaminants in high-volume, free-flowing powders and granular products.
Available as a free-standing unit with a reduced footprint or as a suspended unit, it offers 4-, 6- and 8-inch infeed and discharge pipes and high-speed reject-valve to divert contaminated products. Utilizing quick-release clamps, the reject diverter can be dismantled quickly without tools and swung open to allow thorough cleaning of both the throughput pipe and the reject mechanism. An intuitive user interface offers rapid operator training and ease of use for maximum uptime, the company said.
Mettler-Toledo Safeline’s patented “Zero Metal Free Zone” (ZMFZ) technology minimizes the installation space required for easy integration into new or existing lines, the company said. The technology reduces the length needed for the infeed and allows the reject mechanism to be positioned close to the metal detector without metallic interference or false rejects.
