LOMA Systems - Loma IQ2F / IQ3+ Twin-Head metal detector - RETAIL SPEC

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products on high-speed production lines.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with retail standards for various food items.
• Inspecting products before final packaging to prevent recalls and protect brand reputation.
• Used in bakeries, confectionery, ready meals, and other processed food sectors.

Typical throughput

Commonly designed for high-speed lines, typically handling hundreds of products per minute, depending on product size and line integration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supplies, typically 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

Detection sensitivity

Expected to detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity levels varying based on aperture size and product effect.

Conveyor belt width

Typically configured with belt widths suitable for retail-sized products, commonly ranging from 200mm to 400mm.

Operating environment

Generally designed for industrial food processing environments, often with IP ratings suitable for washdown procedures.

Rejection system

Often integrated with automatic rejection systems such as air blast, pushers, or retracting belts for contaminated products.

• What does 'Twin-Head' signify for a metal detector?

  A 'Twin-Head' configuration typically means the unit has two separate detection heads, often used to inspect products from different angles or to provide redundancy and enhanced detection capabilities on a single line.

• What is 'RETAIL SPEC' in this context?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a used metal detector?

• Is calibration necessary for a used metal detector?

Metal detectors for food processing remain reliable workhorses in quality control operations. Buyers typically value their durability and consistent contamination detection capability. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history and sensitivity settings proves essential. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward maintenance records and minimal downtime. Common strengths include robust construction, straightforward operation, and cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment. Prospective buyers should verify functional testing documentation and assess integration compatibility with existing production lines.
