Pipeline metal detection systems have been developed to inspect products such as meat slurries, jams, sauces, and dairy products. Most systems are USDA approved for federally inspected meat and poultry applications.
Design Considerations
Product flow rate.
Increased flow rates increase the distance between the search head and the valve
Product temperature.
Typically nylon 66 pipes are standard on most systems and are rated for temperatures upto 160° F. Teflon pipes can be used for greater temperatures.
Product pressure.
Typically nylon 66 pipes are standard on most systems and are rated for upto 80 P.S.I. Teflon pipes can be used for greater pressures.
