Conveyor system for sorting bulk silicone stoppers

Convoyeur pour trier des bouchons en vrac

Project description:

Transporting products from the vibrating bowl feeder to the vibrating hopper. Detecting and removing products polluted with metal particles.

The conveyor receives the products from the vibrating bowl feeder. The conveyor transports the products in bulk through the metal detector. Uncontaminated products are poured into the vibrating hopper while contaminated products are removed to the waste bin. As long as no further contamination is detected and the hatch is closed, the waste bin can be opened and emptied without stopping the conveyor.

The detection parameters are selected by activating a recipe on the metal detector display.
