Loma - Liquid Metal Detector Pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting metallic contaminants in pumped liquid or viscous food products such as sauces, soups, and dairy.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in beverage production lines.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal fragments.
• Complying with food safety standards and regulations for contaminant detection.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on pump size and product viscosity; commonly ranges from 500 to several thousand litres per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for the integrated pump and detection system.

Detection sensitivity

For this type of unit, sensitivity is typically high for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, dependent on aperture size and product effect.

Product temperature range

Units of this type are generally designed to operate with products at typical processing temperatures, often up to 90°C or higher for specific models.

Pipe diameter

The internal pipe diameter for the product flow commonly ranges from 50mm to 150mm, influencing throughput and product compatibility.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for all product contact parts to ensure hygiene and durability.
