Small metal particles in the melting process of plastics often lead to costly breakdowns of injection molding machines, extruders and blow molders. The amount of such metal contaminants increases during the processing of regranulate and shredded raw materials. As a result, clogging of nozzles, filters and hot runner systems can lead to production downtime and delivery delays. The GF metal separator is used in vacuum and pressure lines to protect injection molding machines and converters. It detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminants (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.) – even if they are inside the product. The metal contaminants are ejected through the Quick-Flap separation unit.
