Rental Equipment: Gravity Metal Detector

This type of quality control equipment is used to detect the smallest pieces of metal in loose products, such as animal feed. Gravity metal detectors are usually installed in a packaging or processing line to check products as they move through the line. Vertical fall metal detectors use gravity to pass powder or granular product through the metal detector head without touching the product. When metal is detected the reject valve opens and the product with the metal is removed.
