Rejects
Two different valve types, optimally matched to the respective product, guarantee reliable discharge of metallic contaminants. All valves can be CIP cleaned.
| Butterfly-/Shim valve EX-BF | Arc valve EX-BOG |
|---|---|
| For liquids and slightly pasty products | For viscous, pasty products |
| Very stable | For liquids with solids in it |
| Pre-opening on ejection side prevents recoil into pipeline | For pressure up to 40 bar |
| Low cost version | Cip-cleanable and free from Dead spaces |
| For pressure up to 8 bar | Suitable for cleaning with a Cleaning pig |
Hoses/tubes and connections
- food safe pressure hose, applicable up to 6 bar with steam up to 164°C
- Pipe made of polyoxymethylene (POM) for operating pressure up to 40 bar
- Connections selectable from milk thread, Tri-Clamp or SMS couplings
- available in all common sizes: hose from 1"/25 mm to 4"/100 mm, pipe up to 6"/150 mm
METAL SHARK® IN Liquid Self-Monitoring (optional)
Metal detectors are critical control points in every production line and the components connected to them should also be continuously monitored
| Material | Properties |
|---|---|
| Compressed Air Monitoring | Reports an error if the air pressure is too low for the functionality of the sepa flaps. |
| Reject Monitoring | Warns if the reject unit has not switched correctly after metal detection. |
| Testport | Simple version, without BF valves, only one tube with sealing cap (Tric-lamp) for inserting the test ball, incl. test bodies |
| Testport Check & Catch | Tube with sealing cap for insertion of a test body and wide ejection valve (stainless steel 1.4404 / AISI316L, IP65) to ensure the flow of material during function test |
| Autotest | Functional test that does not require opening the product pipelines: Test pieces (FE/NFE/VA) are moved with compressed air through a separate test tube. The control unit indicates which sphere sizes are to be tested. Incl. push button for FE, NFE and VA testing, pneumatic valve, test specimen. |
| Test Balls | Test balls, diameter 10 mm made of plastic POM, with embedded metal ball made of iron, brass and stainless steel, certified. Ball size, metal type and certificate number are embedded in the test ball. |
