Loma - IQ3+E Metal Detector with Incline Conveyor

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products such as ready meals, bakery items, and confectionery.
• Inspecting bulk dry goods like grains, powders, and snacks for metal foreign bodies.
• Quality control in non-food industries, including pharmaceuticals and textiles, to ensure product integrity.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal fragments.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and conveyor speed; commonly capable of processing hundreds of items per minute.

Power supply

Typically requires a single-phase 230V AC supply, 50Hz, with a standard industrial plug.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, sensitivity is typically high for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, varying with aperture size and product effect.

Conveyor belt material

Commonly food-grade polyurethane or PVC, suitable for various product types and hygiene requirements.

Operating environment

Designed for industrial environments, typically IP65 rated for washdown, suitable for temperatures commonly found in production facilities.

Footprint

The combined unit (metal detector and incline conveyor) will require a footprint typically ranging from 1.5m to 3m in length, depending on conveyor specifications.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Units of this type are designed to detect ferrous metals (e.g., iron), non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminium, copper), and various grades of stainless steel.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or dry products?

• What is the purpose of the incline conveyor?

• How is a detected metal contaminant typically handled?

• What maintenance is typically required for such a system?

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.
