Protection for machinery in forestry applications
In log processing, one of the most serious risks is the presence of metal objects hidden in the wood. Nails, screws, metal fragments, shot, or other metal objects can quickly damage machinery and cause costly production stoppages.
The CASSEL Metal Shark Big RD is specifically designed for these applications. Thanks to its cylindrical design, it is suitable for inspecting whole logs and other bulky products in the timber industry. The system reliably detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals, even under harsh industrial conditions.
Robust construction for harsh environments
The model is designed for use in sawmills and wood-handling areas, where dust, humidity, fluctuating temperatures, and mechanical shocks are part of normal operations. Its robust design and automatic balance control ensure stable operation with minimal intervention.
Consistent performance and easy operation
4-quadrant technology and self-calibration functions help maintain sensitivity and reduce external influences. Setup is simplified by TeachAssistant, and the multilingual interface makes it easy to use in production.
Monitoring and Connectivity
Events and alarms can be logged, and the system can be monitored and maintained remotely via SHARKNET. For demanding applications, additional options are available, such as Power Drive and an extended temperature range down to -40°C.
What applications is it suitable for?
- sawmills and log-cutting lines
- forestry and raw wood processing
- protecting machinery from metal contaminants hidden in wood
- outdoor applications or harsh industrial environments
