Loma - Liquid Metal Detector Pump

• Detecting metallic contaminants in liquid or paste products within food processing.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in pharmaceutical manufacturing of liquid medicines.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp metal in industrial liquid streams.
• Quality control in chemical processing where metal impurities are critical.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly, but commonly ranges from 5,000 to 30,000 litres per hour for this class of equipment.

Pipe diameter compatibility

Units are typically designed for standard pipe sizes, often from 2 to 6 inches (DN50 to DN150).

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz for UK operations.

Detection sensitivity

For this type of equipment, sensitivity to ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants is typically high, often down to sub-millimetre particles depending on product characteristics.

Operating pressure

Designed to operate under typical line pressures, often up to 10 bar.

Construction material

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

• What types of metals can a liquid metal detector pump identify?

  These units are typically capable of detecting ferrous metals (iron, steel), non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper, brass), and various grades of stainless steel.

• Is this equipment suitable for viscous products?

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

• What maintenance is typically required for a liquid metal detector pump?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing processing line?

Food processing metal detectors are generally regarded as reliable workhorses for contamination prevention. Buyers typically value robust construction and consistent performance in demanding environments. When purchasing used units, inspectors recommend verifying calibration records, checking sensor condition, and confirming compatibility with existing production lines. Common strengths include straightforward maintenance, durable components, and effective detection across various product types. Reputation hinges on proper installation and regular servicing to maintain effectiveness.
