Loma - IQ3 Metal Detector+Checkweigher CW3

Applications & Use Cases

• 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 Specifications

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.
