Cassel Metal Shark® Metal Detector for Meat Products

Source: Magnetic Products, Inc.

The METAL SHARK® compact Metal Detector for Meat Products satisfies the unique challenges of the meat and sausage industry. Easy to attach between stuffer and clipping machines, this metal detector is compatible with most sausage stuffer machinery. Rugged and mobile, the metal detector features a mobile base frame and a stand with integrated gas spring for easy height adjustment (33.5 in. - 47.2 in.).

Features and Benefits

No Maintenance Electronics: automatic balance and calibration of electronics ensure that the metal detector performs reliably for many years. After initial set-up, no further adjustment of metal detector electronics is needed.

HACCP and IFT compliance: per HACCP principles, metal detectors are classified as critical control points and continuous checking is required to meet standards. If requested, Cassel can integrate a performance validation system (PVS) which automatically prompts the operator to test metal detector performance at pre-set intervals.

Operational history: metal contaminant detections, changes in parameter settings and other events are recorded with the date and time. Users can view the list of "incidents" on the control panel or export the log via a serial port. Password protection prevents any unauthorized operation of the metal detector.

Ready for SHARKNET® software: to comply with HACCP and IFS standards, SHARKNET® enables automatic downloading of data documentation to a Windows-based PC.

Meat-industry specific design: heavy duty stainless steel construction eliminates maintenance while ensuring reliable metal detection even in the harshest and most demanding environments.

Easy cleaning: Cassel’s hygienic design allows the operator to easily disassemble the metal detector for daily wash down or steam hose cleaning. Cassel’s metal detector design has proven especially useful in the sausage industry where wash-ups are conducted several times a day.

Opening for test rods: allows affirmation of proper metal detector operation in seconds without suspending ongoing production.
