Loma/SNB - LOMA IQ3 E COMBINATION UNIT

• Used for final product inspection in food processing to detect metallic contaminants.
• Commonly integrated into production lines for confectionery, baked goods, and ready meals.
• Applied in pharmaceutical packaging for tablet and capsule inspection.
• Utilised in plastics and recycling industries to protect machinery from metal foreign objects.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 30 to 120 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Detection sensitivity

Typically capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity levels varying by aperture size and product effect.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments in food processing.

Reject mechanism

This model features a double belt flip reject, which is common for efficient removal of contaminated products.

Footprint

Combi units, integrating both metal detection and checkweighing, typically require a linear space of 1.5 to 2.5 metres on a production line.

Certifications

Units are commonly designed to meet HACCP, BRC, and M&S specifications for food safety and quality.

• What is a 'Combi unit'?

  A Combi unit integrates both a metal detector and a checkweigher into a single system. This allows for simultaneous foreign body detection and weight verification, saving space and streamlining the inspection process.

Metal detectors for food processing are regarded as essential safety equipment across the industry. Buyers typically prioritise machines with reliable sensitivity calibration and minimal false positives. When purchasing used units, inspecting the sensor head for corrosion and verifying recent calibration certificates prove important. These detectors are valued for their durability and straightforward operation. Industry sentiment favours models with documented maintenance records and proven performance in comparable production environments. Compatibility with existing conveyor systems warrants careful consideration before purchase.
