Loma 7000 metal detector checkweigher

• Ensuring regulatory compliance for product weight and detecting metallic foreign objects in packaged goods.
• Minimising product giveaway and reducing material waste in production lines.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal contaminants.
• Verifying package integrity and completeness in food, pharmaceutical, and other manufacturing sectors.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Construction material

Commonly, these units feature a stainless steel frame and contact parts, suitable for washdown environments.

Weighing accuracy

For checkweighers, accuracy is typically to +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, depending on the weight range and product characteristics.

Metal detection sensitivity

Sensitivity for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants is commonly adjustable, with typical detection levels in the sub-millimetre range for small products.

Reject mechanism

Pneumatic reject systems, such as air blast or pushers, are commonly found on units of this type for efficient removal of non-conforming products.

• What kind of products can this combined unit handle?

  This type of combined unit is suitable for a wide range of packaged products, including food items, pharmaceuticals, and other consumer goods, typically in boxes, bags, or pouches.
