LOMA Systems - Liquid Metal Detector Pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting metallic contaminants in 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 regulations and industry standards for contaminant detection.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput rates for this class of equipment commonly range from 5,000 to 20,000 litres per hour, depending on product viscosity and pipe diameter.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V AC, 50Hz.

Pipe diameter

Commonly designed for standard food-grade pipe diameters, typically ranging from 50mm to 100mm.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, detection sensitivity is typically capable of identifying ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes.

Construction materials

Components in contact with the product are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Operating pressure

Designed to operate within typical food processing line pressures, often up to 10 bar.
