Cassel Shark 2A Metal Detector system

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel, in packaged or unpackaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards by identifying metallic contaminants.
• Protecting downstream processing machinery from damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Used in bakeries, confectioneries, meat processing, dairy, and snack food production lines.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical and non-food industrial applications where metal detection is critical.

Typical Specifications

Typical detection head aperture

Commonly available in various sizes, typically ranging from 150mm to 600mm in width and 50mm to 300mm in height, depending on product dimensions.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, commonly 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

Throughput speed

For this class of equipment, throughput speeds are highly variable and depend on product size and line integration, often capable of handling typical conveyor speeds.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Environmental protection

Often rated to IP65 or higher, indicating protection against dust and water ingress, suitable for washdown areas.

Control interface

Commonly features a user-friendly touchscreen interface for parameter adjustment and data logging.

Rejection system compatibility

Typically designed for integration with various rejection systems such as air blast, pusher, or retracting belt, depending on the application.
