Safeline Pipeline metal detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in pumped food products like sauces, purees, and dairy.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in meat processing lines for minced products or slurries.
• Used in confectionery production for liquid chocolate or caramel streams.
• Protecting downstream equipment from damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Meeting industry standards and regulatory compliance for food safety.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product viscosity and pump speed; commonly designed for continuous flow operations.

Power supply

Typically 230V, single-phase, 50Hz, with some larger units requiring three-phase.

Aperture diameter

For this class of equipment, common sizes range from 50mm to 200mm, with this unit featuring a 150mm diameter.

Construction material

Units of this type, especially for food processing, are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel.

Reject mechanism

Commonly features pneumatic reject valves, diverting contaminated product from the main flow.

Operating pressure

Designed to integrate with standard food processing pump pressures; typically up to 10 bar.

IP rating

Typically IP65 or higher, suitable for washdown environments in food production.

• What types of metal can this detector find?

  Pipeline metal detectors are designed to detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. The sensitivity varies based on the metal type and product characteristics.

• How is a pipeline metal detector integrated into an existing line?

• What maintenance is required for this type of equipment?

• Can this unit handle different product types?

• What happens when metal is detected?

• Is calibration necessary for used metal detectors?

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.
