Throat Metal Detector Product Details
How It Works
Once installed, bulk material falls through the metal detector. If any metallic contaminant, magnetic or non-magnetic is detected, the metal detector alerts the reject that will remove the contaminated package after it passes the fill and/or seal stages (depending on application installation).
