Eriez releases metal detector/magnetic separator ‘double team’ systems

Eriez has introduced two new metal detector/magnetic separator “Double Team” systems. In both of these system configurations, the metal detector and the magnetic separator are designed to work together to produce optimum yield.

The first new system is a Magnetic B Trap followed by an Xtreme Liquid Line Metal Detector. The magnet removes the ferrous contamination from the pumped liquid product, which is intended to improve product quality and minimize rejected material from the downstream metal detector with automatic rejection.

“The metal detector is left to focus on detecting and rejecting non-magnetic tramp metals such as aluminum and stainless steel,” Eriez said.

The other new system pairs a Magnetic Grate-in-Housing with an Xtreme Gravity Drop Vertical Metal Detector. The magnet removes the ferrous contamination from the gravity-dropped material. The metal detector’s primary function is to detect and reject non-magnetic tramp metals including aluminum and stainless steel.

For customers in the food processing industry, Eriez said the systems ensure compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs and regulations set forth by various federal agencies.
