Model CF Metal Separator can be installed directly above the material feed throat of an extruder, injection molding or blow molding machine. It removes both magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminants from a slow, downward-moving column of material, reducing machine downtime, costly repairs, and improving product purity.
Even the smallest metal particles in molten plastic can result in a loss of production and expensive damage to extruders, injection, and blow molding machinery. The cost of repairing a screw or barrel damaged by just one larger piece of metal is enormous compared to value-added for a Model CF Separator. This metal separator delivers excellent operational reliability, even at high throughputs.
The Model CF Metal Separator features automatic self-calibration and monitoring. It is a fully automatic separation process with adjustable scanning sensitivity and reject duration. The Model CF works so quickly that metal particles are constantly removed from free-falling granulate not only at the initial fill but also at subsequent top-ups. The metal contamination is discharged into a reject container with a fast-acting, air-powered separating slide.
Model CF Metal Separators are available in four-pipe sizes from approximately 2.9 to 5.9-in. in diameter.
- Detects and removes even the smallest metal particles from regrind and virgin material
- Reduces machine downtimes and costly repairs, providing a rapid return on investment
- Ensures constant production process parameters
- Product effect compensation: intrinsic conductivity of bulk materials (e.g. from moisture or carbon) can be “tuned out” automatically
