AFOR Systems, Inc. is proud to offer the
MARS™
- Metal
Automated Removal System. A proven, patented system that automatically
removes all types of tramp metal from conveyors
without stopping the belt! |
 |
 |
|
The MARS™
is a rugged, state-of-the-art machine that mounts on the
conveyor (at practically any location) downstream from a metal
detector. When the detector senses tramp metal in the bulk
material on the belt, it sends a signal to the
MARS™.
When the metal reaches the
MARS™,
the
MARS™ automatically
lowers its angled plow blade to flatten the belt and divert
the metal, along with a small amount of material, off the
conveyor. Once the tramp metal is discharged, the MARS™
raises its plow blade to allow for normal material flow.
The entire process takes only seconds! |

Why take a chance with tramp metal? |
| Magnets attract only
ferrous (that is, iron or steel) metal. And even on ferrous, are
not 100% effective (due to belt speed, burden depth, orientation of
the metal, etc.). Magnets offer a good first line of defense, but
they don't offer total protection. |
| |
| Why
live with the downtime caused by metal detector belt stops (and
take a chance with tramp metal)? |
|
Metal detectors can identify all
types of metal (ferrous and
non-ferrous), but they can't remove it; they can only stop the belt
for someone to remove the metal manually. But this stops
production, and still leaves expensive processing equipment
vulnerable to human error. (Not to mention the stress on belts and
motors from these intermittent stops; and safety issues regarding
this practice!). |
