Metal detector is key confidence indicator
Key Plastics, founded in County Wicklow Ireland in 1986, has grown its design and injection moulding business by building and maintaining customer confidence in its products.
Wire ties are used to link the sections, and these later need to be removed.
To ensure that all ties are removed Kutting has installed an Eriez E-Z Tec 9000 aperture metal detector.
This high-sensitivity metal detector has been fitted with audio alarm and coast counter.
The alarm is activated the moment a metal tie is detected and the coast counter monitors the number of ties detected.
The Eriez E-Z Tec 9000 is a recent addition to the range of Eriez metal detectors.
Special features of the E-Z Tec 9000 include easy-to-use, tamper-proof controls allowing up to 10 product settings, single PCB for ease of maintenance, and linear power supply to reduce susceptibility to "noise" (interference).
Kirsten Rhodes, Sales and Technical Manager at Kutting UK, comments "An excellent piece of kit - not only removing all stress from the extrusion team in that they no longer have to manually locate and log joins, but also offering massive quality bonus in that the risk of despatching hose containing joins has been completely eradicated".
