LOMA Systems IQ2

• Detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metal contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in confectionery and bakery lines.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Used in pharmaceutical production for tablet and capsule inspection.
• Quality control in plastics and recycling industries to identify metal impurities.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 20 to over 100 products per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

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

Aperture size

The aperture size dictates the maximum product dimensions. For a unit like the IQ2, common aperture sizes vary, but 450mm wide x 200mm high is a typical configuration for many packaged goods.

Detection sensitivity

Sensitivity is product-dependent but typically allows for detection of very small metal particles, often down to sub-millimetre sizes for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Construction material

The frame and main components are typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for food-grade environments.

Footprint

The footprint for a conveyorised metal detector of this type is typically compact, designed for integration into existing production lines, often around 1.5 to 2 metres in length.

Environmental rating

Commonly, these units have an IP rating suitable for washdown environments, typically IP65 or higher.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  LOMA IQ2 metal detectors are designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. The specific sensitivity will depend on the product and setup.

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

• What maintenance is typically required for a LOMA IQ2?

• Is calibration to my specific products possible?

• What is the expected lifespan of a used LOMA IQ2?

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.
