RAPID COMPACT 30-120 metal

separator for free-fall applications
Areas of application
Even the smallest metallic impurities can bring complete production lines to a standstill. The RAPID COMPACT metal separators separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals starting from
a size of 0.3 mm from free-falling pourable bulk materials.
This helps to avoid costly failures and repairs and considerably
increases productivity. In addition the metal separator is an
important component of quality assurance. It is used both for
intermediate testing after certain production stages and for
the inspection of outgoing goods.
In the plastics industry the RAPID COMPACT is often integrated in a pipe after a cutting mill, a cyclone or a dosing unit
(rotary valve, vibro chute). The metal separator can be
mounted on a mobile rack and offers many individual possibilities of application, such as for example the cleaning of smaller
batches.
Of course the RAPID COMPACT is also suitable for similar
applications in other branches of industry (e.g. food, feed,
chemical and pharmaceutical industry).

Functional and performance charateristics

The decisive advantage of these metal separators is their extremely low overall height. They can therefore be easily installed in (already existing) pipe systems. The extremely low
height is achieved by:
1. the newly developed separating system with its extremely
fast-acting eject flap ("Quick Flap System")
2. round standard connections ("Jacob" system) at the inlet
and at the material and reject outlet, because no additional
special transition pieces are required.
An other essential advantage of this "Quick Flap System" is the
minimum loss of good material in the separation of metal impurities.
When the optimum customer-specific scanning sensitivity and
eject duration have been set, the metal separator operates
completely automatically without any production interruption.
Automatic self-balancing, permanent self-monitoring and temperature compensation are further important performance
characteristics of the RAPID COMPACT metal separator. Various supplemental devices such as warning systems and
counters can be controlled by means of relay outputs that are
activated in case of metal or error detection.
In case of an error of the metal separator or in case of a
mains failure the separating flap remains in "eject" position
until the error has been remedied. If the equipment must be
installed at a hard to access location, the control unit can be
mounted at a distance of up to 10 meters.
