Metal Shark® GF

Metal detection for free-falling products

The METAL SHARK® GF (Gravity Feed) is used for pipelines with free-falling products to detect metal contaminants in continuously flowing granulates or powders such as sugar, flour, grain or spices. The sensitive sensors detects even the smallest metal contaminants, and a reactive reject device remove them directly from the product stream without interrupting production.


Included:

  • Detection unit including mounting frame
  • METAL SHARK® Controller
  • Reject unit (also available without rejection unit)
  • Pipe extension for metal-free zone including quick clamping rings

METAL SHARK® GF is available in three configurations: standard, compact and TD-R. METAL SHARK® GF standard and compact are also available as complete solutions including ejection mechanism/separation flaps. All versions are supplied as standard with the current METAL SHARK® control unit.
