- Intuitive Design
- Multiple languages available
- Four-level password: operator, manager, technician and service
- Easy-to-follow, step-by-step, high-graphic screens help users set standards for product testing
- Simple operation means no expensive service calls to adjust settings
- Four Quadrant Technology
- 360° analysis of the product signature
- Metal threshold follows the signature so metal detection occurs in the whole product
- The detector adjusts settings to detect metals in the most “difficult” products such as cheese or high salt content foods
- Zero Maintenance Electronics
- All-solid-state electronics housed on one mainboard – ensures years of reliable performance offering the lowest cost of ownership on the market
- Digital Balance Control adjusts for temperature and humidity fluctuations by monitoring coil balance more than 200 times per second
- 2-year standard warranty
- Documentation and Traceability
- Metal detectors are considered a critical control point, and continuous checking is required to meet standards. Cassel metal detectors can be programmed to automatically remind the operator to test equipment performance at pre-set intervals. A list of metal contaminant detections, changes in parameter settings, etc., is stored with both date and time. This list can be viewed on-screen or the data can be downloaded to a Windows-based PC.
- Performance validation system (PVS) automatically prompts the operator to test Metal Detector performance at pre-set intervals
- Operational history: events are recorded with the date and time and can be viewed on the control panel or export the log via a serial port
- Data will not be lost during a power outage

- Reject Options:
- With the reject valve, metal objects are separated out of the stream promptly. Cassel has different valve designs available:
- Butterfly valve (EX-BF) is operationally reliable, easy to maintain and have especially been developed for CIP/SIP applications
- Arc Valve (EX-MH) is used in fully aseptic applications allows a full unrestricted flow that allows no product restrictions through the valve
- EX-PWC reject valve is designed for flowing products with non-fluid components and will not impede product flow
- With the reject valve, metal objects are separated out of the stream promptly. Cassel has different valve designs available:
- Other Options:
- Performance check port
- An optional test ball insertion port allows an operator to regularly and easily test metal detector performance
- Autotest option is available for automatic validation with test spheres in separate test pipes
