Metal detectors for liquids

Eriez’ E-Z Tec® DSP Narrow Profile Liquid Line Metal Detectors are used to detect the presence of ferrous, nonferrous and stainless metal contaminants in viscous products such as liquids, slurries, syrups and pastes.

By ,

Detectors protect downstream equipment from metal in the product stream, reducing machinery downtime and maintenance costs. When metal is detected, a signal is sent to one of the available output relays, activating a ball valve, controlling a visual or audio alarm, stopping the product flow or sending a signal to a PLC. Complete systems can be provided in pipe sizes ranging from 1-4 in. (25-102 mm) diameter.
