Function
The METAL SHARK® BIG pba with rectangular opening at a rather low opening height is especially designed for monitoring fibre mats, MDF, OSC or chipboard as well as other panel materials.
The typical installation takes place around a conveyor belt with flat belt.
Using 3D detection technology, it detects magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminants (iron, stainless steel, aluminium etc.) precisely and reliably even under difficult conditions.
