Function
The METAL SHARK® FL and FL compact metal detectors are typically used for the inspection of non-wovens, textiles/fabrics and films.
Both detectors are particularly flat and available in widths of 1,000 - 4,000 mm (39" to 157"). The FL compact features a rotatable mount so that it can be adapted to sloping webs.
Due to the high sensitivity of the FL models, even tiny magnetic and non-magnetic metal particles (e.g. iron, aluminum and stainless steel) are detected across the entire width.

- METAL SHARK® control unit
Application
- Monitoring of fabric, non-woven or synthetic webs, very shallow products moving on conveyor belts
- Quality assurance for incoming goods, outgoing goods or during ongoing production
- Machine or end user protection, e.g. against needle
Accessories & Extras
- Washable versions for hose cleaning (LPW) or optional high-pressure washdown (HPW)
- SHARKNET® connection for automatic documentation including HACCP, IFS or BRC standard
- Separate mounting of the control unit (e.g. wall mounting)
- Signaling devices (visual/acoustic)
- Issue of a Performance Verification Certificate (proof of functionality for audits) by CASSEL service technicians, e.g. during commissioning or maintenance
| SHARKNET® | 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. |
| LPW/HPW | Increase of the IP protection class by adapting the sensor seal, installing additional seals and a double housing for the control electronics |
| Temperature extension cold | Temperature range extended to -40°C (-40° F) Resin seals remain elastic at low temperatures. Special insulation, heated enclosure and other features. |
| Temperature extension hot | Temperature range extended to +55° C, (+131° F) Adapted enclosure, additional thermal insulation, replaceable filter fan, heat exchanger and/or active cooling units. |
| High temperature extension for product | Goods temperature up to +120°C (248° F) max. This option provides IP54 grade enclosure for the sensor. |
| Signalling devices (optical/acoustic) | Stacking lights and signal horns/sirens available in different versions and IP protection classes |
