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