Metal Detector Liner Withstands Intense Washdowns

Lock Inspection Systems has developed the X-treme metal detector liner, which is claimed to withstand intensive washdown environments like those in meat and poultry.

Sealed to IP67 and capable of withstanding high-pressure hose cleaning conditions of up to 1,000psi, the X-treme liner offers optimum protection against water ingress, claimed Lock.

Due to increasingly stringent hygiene policies in the meat and poultry industries, intensive high-pressure washdown is required after every product run.

Water ingress can potentially destroy the effectiveness of a detector head, leading to false readings.

Designed specifically for these sectors, X-treme provides a permanent barrier over the metal detector's main liner and keeps water out, enhancing and extending its life.

The high density polyethylene liner can withstand direct hose cleaning at a range of three feet said Lock.

Mike Randall, Lock's chairman, commented: "The X-treme liner is already installed in several major meat and poultry plants and is proving to be extremely durable and resistant.

The liner addresses the industry demand for a metal detector that can withstand intensive washdown, and the result is better sensitivity performance and longer life for the detector.".
