- Typical throughput
- Varies significantly based on product viscosity and pipe diameter, commonly ranging from hundreds to several thousand litres per hour.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial single-phase power, commonly 230V, 50/60Hz, with power consumption in the low hundreds of watts.
- Pipe diameter compatibility
- Pipeline metal detectors are available for a range of pipe sizes; 50-80mm is commonly found for this class of equipment.
- Construction material
- Fully stainless steel construction is standard for food processing applications, ensuring hygiene and durability.
- Mobility
- Mobile units on lockable castors are common, allowing for flexible placement and use across multiple production lines.
- Detection sensitivity
- Typically capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity dependent on aperture size and product effect.
- Environmental rating
- Often rated to IP65 or higher, suitable for washdown environments in food processing.
