Pig detector designs

 

To fit every application, we offer 3 different designs of pig detectors. Tthe basic design of the body and actuation mechanism is always the same, they difference just in the way they indicate the passage of the pig (mechincally, electric signal),

 

Type MM310

The Pig detector type MM310 indicates the passage of the pig by a mechanically triggered signal flag. After triggering, the signal flag has to be reset manually.

This option is usually used when a simple method for indication is requested or if electric systems are not allowed.

 

Type ME320

The pig detector type ME320 uses an inductive sensor for detecting the passage of the pig and creating an electric signal. The signal can be displayed on a local display or in a control room. It can be also used for automated valve actuation systems.

The sensor is placed in a pressure- and medium-free part of the Pig detector and is certified for use in explosion protection zone 0/20.

The type ME320 is used in applications which require a reliable indication with a remote surveillance (underground, built-in systems etc.)

 

Type MME330

The type MME330 combines an electrical and mechanical indication of the pig passage. The mechanical signal flag has to be reset manually after triggering. The MME 330 is certified for use in explosion protection zone 0/20
