processes up to 9t of fresh
vegetables, some of which
need hand cutting. The risk of
metal contamination comes
mainly from broken cutter
blades, but also from deliveries
that may contain pieces of
metal. To eliminate the risk,
Express Potato has replaced
manual inspection with
automatic metal detectors
from S+S Inspection.
productPlasmac, a manufacturer of
recycling extruders for the
plastics industry, especially
film producers, describes
fitting metal detectors to its
range of off-line extruders as:
“The best value insurance
against the risk of input
contamination damaging the
extruder SST screw and other
internal components.” The
in-line extruders face a very
small risk and do not usually
need metal protectors.
productProducer and user of recycled feedstock, Centriforce Products of Liverpool has installed three S+S metal detection systems to remove even the smallest pieces of metal from its recycled polymer before it can damage the extrusion machines.
productWhile an increase in demand from around 12,000 cereal bars a day to more than 20,000 was welcomed by manufcturer Devonvale, it brought with it the problem of how to increase production in a relatively small space.
productWhenever plastics are being recycled there is a risk that the input stream may contain metallic contaminants with the potential to damage downstream equipment. The Plasticon metal detection system from S+S Inspection has been designed specifically to detect and remove metal fragments before cutting mills, chippers and shredders can be damaged.
productWith a footprint of less than 1m, the Ecoline-D from S+S fits easily into conveyor systems to give a compact, high specification metal detection system at a competitive price.
productTo minimise the risk of feedstock contamination in the plastics industry, S+S Inspection has combined its Safemag and Protector contamination detection and removal systems to provide maximum protection and minimum material loss.
In the food industry the main
contamination risk comes from wear
and tear on processing machinery
which can introduce metal particles,
often very small, into the product
