Pipeline Feed Metal Detector for Liquid and Juice
This pipeline detector works on electromagnetic induction, so it catches non-ferrous contaminants as well as iron: copper, aluminium, tin and stainless steel all disturb the field, ferrous by changing the magnetic distribution and non-ferrous by eddy current. It combines an induction coil with an automatic removing device, so contaminated product leaves the flow without stopping the line.
Key benefits
- Detects iron plus copper, aluminium, tin and stainless steel
- Induction coil paired with an automatic removing device
- Works on liquid and beverage product inside the pipeline
- Shell in A3 painted steel plate or 304 stainless steel
- Acts as both a detector and a metal separator
Problems it solves
- Pumped product bypasses every conveyor-mounted detector
- Non-ferrous contaminants pass detectors set for iron only
- Stopping the line to remove contamination costs production time
- Painted steel corrodes in a wet processing area
Who it is for
- Beverage and liquid food producers
- QA teams covering pumped product as well as packed
- Plants specifying 304 stainless for product contact
Application scenarios
- Juice and beverage processing lines
- Liquid food production
- Pipelines carrying pumped product to filling
- Lines where a conveyor detector cannot be fitted
Technical features
- Electromagnetic induction detection
- Automatic removing device for separation
- Shell material: A3 steel plate with painted coating, or 304 stainless steel plate
- Standard pipe connections

Figures are those published by the factory for this model. Where a value is shown as TBC it is not published, and we will confirm it with the factory before you order rather than estimate it.
Customisation options
- Shell in painted A3 steel or 304 stainless steel
- Pipe connection sized to the line
Compared with other models in the range
The pipe feed detector for the sauce industry covers thicker pumped product. This model is specified for liquid and juice, and it is the one described as a metal separator as well as a detector, with an automatic removing device rather than an alarm only.
Use guide
- Install in the pipeline ahead of filling
- Confirm pipe diameter and connection type before ordering
- Choose the 304 stainless shell for wet or washdown areas
- Let the automatic removing device divert contaminated product rather than stopping the line
- Verify with ferrous and non-ferrous test pieces at commissioning

Pipeline Feed Metal Detector for Liquid and Juice FAQ
Does it detect stainless steel
Yes. Non-ferromagnetic metals including copper, aluminium, tin and stainless steel produce an eddy current effect that changes the magnetic field distribution.
Does the line have to stop when metal is found
No. An automatic removing device separates the contaminated product, with a separator action time of 0.5 s.
What is the shell made of
A3 steel plate with painted coating, or 304 stainless steel plate.
What pipe sizes are available
Not stated in the published source material. Send your pipe diameter and connection type on WhatsApp and we will confirm.
What products is it for
Liquid and beverage processing, including juice.
How does it differ from a conveyor detector
It works inside the pipeline, on product that a conveyor detector never sees.
