Function
The METAL SHARK® BIG RD has been developed for industrial applications in the timber industry and sawmills.
The detector detects magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminants (iron, tombac, brass, stainless steel, etc.) precisely and reliably even under difficult conditions.
Due to its round shape it is ideal for monitoring logs for metal parts such as shrapnel, bullet fragments, nails, screws, etc.
It is typically installed in troughed conveyor belts.
