Loma Superscan micro Pipeline metal detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in pumped food products such as sauces, purees, and soups.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in dairy processing lines for milk, cream, and yoghurt.
• Inspecting processed meat slurries and viscous confectionery prior to packaging.
• Maintaining compliance with food safety standards by identifying ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants.

Typical pipe diameter

For this particular unit, 100mm is specified; other models in this class commonly range from 50mm to 150mm.

Power supply

Typically requires a single-phase 230V AC supply, 50Hz, with a low current draw.

Throughput

Highly dependent on product viscosity and pump speed; units of this type are designed for continuous inline processing.

Construction material

Commonly features a stainless steel frame and product contact parts, suitable for hygienic environments.

Reject mechanism

This unit includes a pneumatic reject system; other pipeline detectors may use diverter valves or stop-flow mechanisms.

Detection sensitivity

Typically offers high sensitivity to various metal types, adjustable based on product effect and application.
