Loma - Liquid Metal Detector Pump

• Detecting metallic contaminants in pumped liquid or viscous food products.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in dairy, beverage, and sauce production.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Compliance with food safety standards and regulations for liquid products.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product viscosity and pump type; buyers should confirm with the seller.

Power supply

Commonly 230V or 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK.

Detection sensitivity

Typically capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with specific sensitivity depending on aperture size and product effect.

Product contact parts material

For food applications, these are commonly stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to meet hygiene standards.

Inlet/outlet connections

Typically sanitary connections such as RJT, DIN, or Tri-Clamp, with sizes varying for different flow rates.

Operating temperature

Designed for typical food processing environments, often between 0°C and 40°C, but specific limits should be verified.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Liquid metal detectors are typically designed to identify ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals (like aluminium), and certain grades of stainless steel contaminants within a pumped product stream.

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

• Is this unit suitable for viscous products?

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

• 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.
