LOMA Systems - Loma IQ2 Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products on production lines.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Identifying metal foreign bodies in plastics and recycling processes.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by metal fragments.

Detection sensitivity

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

Aperture size

Commonly available in various aperture dimensions to suit different product sizes and conveyor widths.

Power supply

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

Conveyor speed

Designed to integrate with existing production lines, accommodating typical conveyor speeds found in food and packaging industries.

Reject system

This unit features an alarm and belt stop on detect reject system, a common method for handling contaminated products.

Construction material

Units of this type typically feature stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing environments.

Environmental rating

Often designed to meet IP ratings suitable for washdown environments, commonly IP65 or higher for food applications.
