MAG 4300 ME-P - Metal separation system for plastics recycling applications

The MAG 4300 series of metal separators, used in the plastics industry, removes metal contaminants eg aluminium, steel or stainless steel from regranulate. The flow of regranulate is widened on an external feeder and reaches the glass slide where the pieces are further individualised before continuing into the inspection area of the multi-channel metal detector. If a metal contaminant is detected microprocessors determine its exact location. Electronics evaluate this position and ejection nozzles are activated with pinpoint accuracy and at precisely the right time to blow out the contaminant. The ejection nozzles are so precise that the metal contaminants are removed with very little loss of good material. The rest of the material, free of metal contaminants, then continues along the conveyor.

Advantages:
• removes all types of metal, including stainless steel
• removes metal, metal composites and inclusions
• removes contaminants with pinpoint accuracy
• modular design

Typical applications:
• removes pump dispenser springs and balls from PET flakes
• removes aluminium from HD-PE flakes
• removes stainless steel from PVC window regranulate
