Loma - IQ3+E Metal Detector With Incline Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Inspecting bulk dry goods for foreign metal objects.
• Quality control for baked goods, confectionery, and snack foods.
• Ensuring product safety in meat, poultry, and seafood processing lines.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically suitable for production lines requiring inspection rates from 10 to 60 metres per minute, depending on product size and sensitivity settings.

Power supply

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

Detection sensitivity

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

Conveyor belt material

The incline conveyor belt is typically food-grade polyurethane or PVC, designed for hygiene and durability.

Construction material

The main frame and housing are commonly constructed from stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments.

Footprint

The overall footprint will vary, but units with an incline conveyor typically require several square metres of floor space, including access for operation and maintenance.
