Safeline Mettler Pipeline Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in pumped food products such as sauces, purees, and dairy.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance in meat processing for ground or emulsified products.
• Quality control for confectionery items like chocolate or caramel that are pumped in liquid form.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Integration into automated production lines for continuous inline inspection of viscous liquids.

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.

• What types of metal can this detector find?

  Pipeline metal detectors are typically designed to detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and non-magnetic stainless steel contaminants in pumped products.

• Is this unit suitable for my specific product?

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

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

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• What are the power requirements for this type of equipment?

Metal detectors for food processing remain reliable workhorses in quality control operations. Buyers typically value their durability and consistent contamination detection capability. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history and sensitivity settings proves essential. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward maintenance records and minimal downtime. Common strengths include robust construction, straightforward operation, and cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment. Prospective buyers should verify functional testing documentation and assess integration compatibility with existing production lines.
