Separation Drum Type 3 R5 B to 3 R12 B
With the newly developed rectangle drum Type 3R7 B MTF Technik once more proves its competence in the area of separation. The patented mechanism for preventing part jams makes this drum unique.
The MTF Rectangle Separating Drums, types 3 R5 B to 3 R12 B are used for an automatic separation of parts of different form and size. These drums are particularly suitable for soft, adherent parts which tend to stick together. In addition, parts with minimal difference in size can be separated. The patented mechanism for momentary opening of the separating gap effectively prevents deadlocks in the gaps.
Advantages:
- Best separating results – as well for difficult parts
- Quick and precise adjustment of the separating gap
- No jamming or damaging of the parts due to the self-opening separating gap (patent pending)
- Stainless steel cages for use in clean room conditions
- Constantly variable height and inclination of the drums for best adaptation to the separating task
- Easy replacement of the drum cages (roller cages, perforated cages, “hedgehog” cages, rectangle cages)
- Simple and convenient operation
- Solid construction in proven MTF-quality
- High-performance and powerful planetary gear motors of top quality
- Constant or continuously adjustable drum speeds
- Separating gap continuously adjustable between 0 and 60mm
- Swivelling feed-in chute complete with a sound absorbing polyamide coating
- Heavy double stand underframe with four steering rollers
Separation Drums
Separation Drums serve the spatial separation of pieces of different sizes – especially the separation of injection-moulded pieces from sprues in plastic finishing or in the die-casting industry. Depending on the task, various devices and diameters are available to achieve an ideal separation result. Separation Drums can be used directly behind the production machine for inline separation.
Because of your large throughput, however, they are often used in combination with a feed belt as central separation stations. Thus pieces from different production machines are separated in batches.
