Systematic metal separation pays for itself in a very short time
S+S Metal detectors and separators detect and separate both ferro-magnetic metals and high-grade steel, aluminium, copper, brass, lead, and all other metals, irrespective of whether the metal is present in sheathed, coated, painted, insulated, embedded, or in free form.
The product range offers appropriate and economically highly interesting solutions for all the applications in the plastics industry. Profit from our know-how. Systematic machine protection increases the process continuity and productivity of your machines. S+S metal detectors therefore pay for themselves in a very short time.
Metal impurities lead to costs and lost production
Damaged plastification screws, cylinders, and non-return locks
Blocking of nozzles
Short replacement intervals for filter parts and screens
Reduced passage areas in filters
Loss of pressure, low-flow zones, and dead corners
Increased stress om the molten material
Defective mouldings and increased reject rates
Damaged calander rollers
Increased maintenance costs
Machine standstill and production loss
Reduced productivity
Metal impurities cannot be avoid
Manual material feeding or open material containers
Purchasing of contaminated recycling materials
Broken blades or parts from cutting mills
Negligence of the personnel
In the size reduction machine larger metal parts are broken down in many small particles
Even new granulate may contain metal inclusions or abraded matter from conveyor pipes (It is true that in the plastics industry metal separators are used for quality control, due to the large throughput quantities, however, fine detection is impossible)
