Function

The METAL SHARK® FL and FL compact metal detectors are usually used for the inspection of nonwovens, textiles and films.

Both detectors are particularly flat and available in widths of 1,000 – 4,000 mm. The FL compact is rotatably mounted so that it can also be adapted to sloping webs.

Due to the high sensitivity of the FL models, tiny magnetic and non-magnetic metal particles (e.g. iron, aluminium and stainless steel) are detected over the entire width.

Accessories & Extras

The METAL SHARK® FL and FL compact detectors can be perfectly adapted to your production with various special designs and accessories.

Different temperature requirements are taken into account as well as complicated product requirements for metal detection.

  • The SHARKNET® software connects METAL SHARK® metal detectors with a central computer, providing centralized storage of all operating data plus batch and alarm documentation for HACCP and IFS compliance.
  • Increase of the IP protection class by adapting the sensor seal, installing additional seals and a double housing for the control electronics
  • Temperature range extended to -40°C (-40° F) Resin seals remain elastic at low temperatures. Special insulation, heated enclosure and other features.
  • Temperature range extended to +55° C, (+131° F) Adapted enclosure, additional thermal insulation, replaceable filter fan, heat exchanger and/or active cooling units.
  • Goods temperature up to +120°C (248° F) max. This option provides IP54 grade enclosure for the sensor.
  • Stacking lights and signal horns/sirens available in different versions and IP protection classes

Delivery Scope

  • Detection unit (Sensor) FL or FL compact
  • Control unit METAL SHARK® in stainless steel housing with separate wall mounting

Application

  • Monitoring of fabric, nonwoven or even synthetic webs
  • Quality assurance for incoming goods, outgoing goods or during running production
