No Maintenance

The automatic balance and calibration control ensures many years of reliable performance. The requirement for costly routine
manufacturer actions is eliminated. Once set, the METAL SHARK^® does not require any manufacturer adjustment at all. Therefore implementing the METAL SHARK^® will help to save your service budget.

By using SMD technology all circuits have been miniaturized and housed on just one multilayer main board. In the unlikely case of a malfunction, most factory electricians should be able to replace the board.

Application in the meat industry – the entire system is made of sturdy stainless steel. The high quality construction needs no maintenance. It ensures reliable metal detection in harsh and demanding environments.

Intuitive Operation

The display shows solely necessary information, which is really required. The software is self-explanatory. Reduction to the essentials results in easy, clear and transparent operation.

Teaching menu – product features are captured and taught automatically by pushing one single button.

Product library – features of 120 different products can easily be stored and recalled.

Performance validation – according to HACCP metal detectors are classified as critical control points. Continuous checking is
required to fulfill the standards. If desired our performance validation automatically prompts the operator to test the performance
of the METAL SHARK^® at pre-set intervals.

Operation history – metal detections or changes in parameter settings etc. are stored in a log list stating date and time. The list can be read on the display or exported via serial port or ethernet.

Automatic self-control – if a malfunction occurs it will be displayed on a separate output contact.

Password protection prevents any unauthorized operation of the metal detector.

Outstanding Sensitivity and Stability

The METAL SHARK^® provides outstanding sensitivity, accuracy, stability and precise compensation of product effects.

Auto calibration – enables easy and fast teaching of product features, which allows the compensation of product effects. Due
to the selectable pre-set features DRY, WET, SALTY and MEAT it is exceptionally effortless to set the metal detector for new products.

Phase tracking – product effects are compensated and readjusted in an intelligent way.

Precise metal detection at highest level – digital noise filters eliminate any undesired signals.

Multi-channel technology for the optimum detection of all kinds of metal: ferrous, nonferrous (like aluminum or copper) and stainless steel.

Highest endurance – the extra sturdy construction of the sensor is designed to operate in extreme and harsh applications, in which other brands fail. The sensor head is encapsulated entirely in a solid epoxy block, sealing and protecting the aperture long-term. This qualifies the METAL SHARK^® perfectly even for wet and most challenging environments.

Production Line Integration

The twisting device is hooked into and attached to the METAL SHARK^® INA MEAT just the way it is usually done at the filling machine.

Sturdy frame the hygienic design is easy to clean. All rods are completely welded on all sides. Due to an integrated gas spring, height adjustment is easy to handle for one operator. Four castors make it comfortable to move the metal detector.

Plug in & ready to go the METAL SHARK^® INA MEAT is universally applicable with linking gear boxes as well as clipping machines. While in twisting operation the external device cable is plugged into the filling machine. With clipping machines or automatic hanging lines the external device cable is inserted in the existing cable between filling machine and clipping or twisting machine. Plug and socket are provided compatible with the type of filling machine.

Pipe connections and plugs are provided consistent with the link of the filling machine. The METAL SHARK^® is available for Handtmann VF and Rex (please advise type of filling machine when ordering the metal detector).

HACCP and IFS Compliance

Easy cleaning – due to the hygienic design the metal detector can easily be disassembled for daily rinsing with water or steamhose cleaning. The construction proved its worth in sausage productions with several wash-ups a day.

An opening for test rods – allows the affirmation of the correct operation of the metal detector within seconds without suspending the ongoing production.

Ready for SHARKNET^® software – SHARKNET^® enables an automatic data documentation onto a Windows-based PC to fulfill HACCP and IFS standards.
