How a pipeline metal detector works
The detector is fitted into the product line, so pumped liquid or paste passes through its aperture. If metal is found, a reject valve diverts the contaminated product away from the filler.
It protects filling machines and finished products in factories that make sauces, beverages, oils, pastes and similar products.

What to check before you buy
Thin liquid or thick paste, and whether it is salty or conductive.
The diameter and the hygienic connection type on your line.
So the detector and reject valve suit your pump.
A diverter valve that removes only the contaminated product.
Hygienic design and washdown requirements.

Pipeline metal detectors: common questions
How much does a pipeline metal detector cost in Sri Lanka?
Pipeline metal detectors cost LKR 2,500,000 to 6,500,000, from standard models up to European brands. The price does not include VAT, and the final price depends on the pipe size, fittings, reject valve and food-grade build your line needs. PBS quotes each project after checking your product and replies within 24 hours.
Can a metal detector inspect liquids and pastes?
Yes. A pipeline detector is fitted into the pumped line and checks the product as it flows through.
Do salty or conductive products affect detection?
They can reduce sensitivity, because the product itself affects the detector's signal. We confirm performance with test pieces on your actual product.
Where is it fitted?
Usually after the pump and before the filler, so metal is removed before it reaches the filling machine.
What warranty do pipeline metal detectors have?
All PBS products carry a one-year manufacturer warranty, and PBS provides technical support afterwards.
