LOMA Systems Liquid Metal Detector Pump

• Detecting metallic contaminants in pumped liquid or viscous products within food processing.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in dairy, beverage, and sauce production lines.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal fragments.
• Used in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for quality control of liquid products.

Typical capacity

Throughputs for this class of equipment commonly range from 5,000 to 30,000 litres per hour, depending on pump size and product viscosity.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V AC, 50Hz.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, sensitivity to ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants is typically high, often down to sub-millimetre levels.

Pipe diameter compatibility

Commonly designed for standard process pipe diameters, typically ranging from 2 to 6 inches (DN50 to DN150).

Construction materials

Product contact parts are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Operating temperature range

Typically designed to operate with product temperatures commonly found in food processing, often up to 90°C or higher for CIP cycles.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  LOMA Systems metal detectors are designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. The exact sensitivity will depend on the specific unit and product.

• Is this unit suitable for CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems?

• What kind of products can be run through this liquid metal detector?

• How is a detected contaminant rejected from the product flow?

• What maintenance is typically required for this equipment?

Metal detectors for food processing remain reliable workhorses in quality control operations. Buyers typically value their durability and consistent contamination detection capability. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history and sensitivity settings proves essential. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward maintenance records and minimal downtime. Common strengths include robust construction, straightforward operation, and cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment. Prospective buyers should verify functional testing documentation and assess integration compatibility with existing production lines.
