Metal separation on the machine intake. The last chance becomes the first choice.

The Plastron 05 K is a new metal separator from Mesutronic. It was developed for the examination of plastic granulates, ground material and powders for metallic foreign bodies. It thus completes the company’s extensive range of products for injection moulding and extrusion for the application case of slow-flowing material columns. It is installed directly between feed systems such as hopper loader or mixer and the plastification unit.

Particular consideration was given to the temperature stability and detection accuracy of the detection coil. This was achieved through the use of precision milled parts and a winding support made of modern composite material.

The ejection unit impresses with absolutely reliable ejections of both bridge-forming and slumping or free-falling materials. It can also be dismantled for cleaning in a matter of seconds without tools.

The high-quality AMD 05 functions as the evaluation electronics. Apart from excellent immunity to interference, this also offers ideal communication options in the sense of digitalization.

This combination of innovation and reliability results in top performance data for precision, operating reliability and ease of cleaning. Even in the basic version the system can be used for material temperatures up to 120 °C. This offers considerably greater flexibility with the increasing use of pre-dried granulate.

Mesutronic GmbH has been producing innovative metal detection technology for the plastics industry for over 25 years. Customers all over the world are supplied with metal detectors and separators from the company’s headquarters in Kirchberg im Wald.
