Loma - IQ3 Metal Detector+Checkweigher CW3

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Verifying product weight to ensure compliance with legal metrology and minimise giveaway.
• Inspecting products on production lines for quality control prior to dispatch.
• Rejecting non-conforming products automatically from the main production flow.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly handle up to 100-200 packages per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Metal detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, typical sensitivities allow for detection of ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with specific levels depending on aperture size and product effect.

Weighing accuracy

Checkweighers of this type typically offer accuracy within +/- 0.5g to 2g, depending on the product weight and line speed.

Power supply

Most industrial metal detector and checkweigher combinations operate on a single-phase supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Equipment for food processing is typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Typical footprint

Integrated units commonly require a linear footprint of approximately 2.5m to 4m, depending on the specific model and conveyor lengths.

• What types of products can this combined unit inspect?

  This type of integrated unit is suitable for inspecting a wide range of packaged food products, including pouches, cartons, trays, and bags, within the specified aperture and weight limits.

• How does the reject system typically operate?

• Is calibration required for the checkweigher?

• What kind of maintenance does a unit like this typically need?

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

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
