Loma - Used Loma IQ Metal Detector

• Detecting metal contaminants in packaged food products prior to dispatch.
• Identifying metallic foreign bodies in bulk powders or granular materials.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance in confectionery and snack production lines.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal fragments.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical and non-food industrial applications.

Detection capability

Typically senses ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants.

Throughput

Commonly designed for integration into continuous production lines, with speeds varying based on product size and line velocity.

Aperture size

The internal dimensions of the detection tunnel, which dictates the maximum product size that can pass through. Buyers should confirm the exact aperture for this unit.

Construction material

Typically features a stainless steel frame and components for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase electrical supplies, typically 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Control interface

Units of this type commonly feature a user-friendly interface, often with a touchscreen, for setting parameters and monitoring.

Reject mechanism compatibility

Often designed to integrate with various reject systems (e.g., air blast, pusher, diverter arm) to remove contaminated products.
