CAS - Used Cassel

Applications & Use Cases

• Ensuring product safety and compliance in food processing lines by detecting metallic contaminants.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp metal in various industrial applications.
• Quality control in packaging operations to identify products containing unwanted metal.
• Inspection of bulk materials in industries such as plastics, recycling, and textiles.

Typical Specifications

Typical aperture size

Commonly ranges from 100mm to 500mm in width and 50mm to 300mm in height, depending on the product being inspected.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, commonly 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, sensitivity is typically in the range of 0.5mm to 3.0mm for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, varying with aperture size and product effect.

Conveyor speed

Units of this type commonly operate with conveyor speeds from 10 to 60 metres per minute, adaptable to production line requirements.

Construction material

The frame and housing are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Environmental rating

Often rated to IP65 or higher, indicating suitability for washdown environments.

Rejection system

Commonly features integrated rejection systems such as air blast, pushers, or retracting conveyors, selected based on product type.
