Loma IQ Metal Detector Checkweigher Combi

• Ensuring product safety and compliance in food processing lines.
• Verifying package weight accuracy for regulatory adherence and waste reduction.
• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged goods.
• Used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and general manufacturing for quality control.

Typical throughput

Units in this class commonly handle up to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing accuracy

Typically achieves accuracies of +/- 0.5g to 2g, suitable for most pre-packed goods regulations.

Detection sensitivity

For this type of equipment, sensitivities can range from 0.8mm ferrous, 1.5mm non-ferrous, and 2.0mm stainless steel, depending on aperture size and product effect.

Product dimensions

Commonly accommodates products up to 300mm wide and 250mm high, with varying maximum weights.

Power supply

Typically requires a single-phase 230V AC supply, 50Hz, with a power consumption of around 1-2 kW.

Construction material

Units of this type are almost exclusively constructed from 304-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

A combi unit typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width.

• What types of contaminants can a metal detector checkweigher combi unit detect?

  These units are designed to detect ferrous (iron), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and stainless steel contaminants within packaged products, while simultaneously verifying package weight.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What is the typical lifespan of a used combi unit?

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

• What kind of maintenance does a Loma IQ / 6000 typically require?

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.
