Safeline Pipeline Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in pumped food products such as purees, sauces, and fillings.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in dairy, confectionery, and ready-meal production lines.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal foreign objects.
• Complying with food safety standards and regulations by identifying metal contamination.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product viscosity and pipe diameter; units of this class typically handle flow rates from several hundred to several thousand litres per hour.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, typically 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

Aperture size

For pipeline units, aperture sizes are typically designed to match standard pipe diameters, commonly ranging from 50mm to 150mm.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.

Reject mechanism

Pipeline metal detectors commonly feature an automatic reject diverter valve to remove contaminated product from the main flow.

Operating temperature

Typically designed to operate within standard industrial ambient temperatures, often 0°C to 40°C.

IP rating

For washdown environments, units commonly have an IP65 or higher rating.
