Loma IQ2 Metal Detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Inspecting bulk materials for unwanted metal fragments prior to further processing.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical production lines to ensure product safety.
• Identifying metal inclusions in plastics and other non-food industrial goods.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp metal.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically designed for high-speed production lines, processing hundreds to thousands of items per minute depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

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

Aperture size

The detection aperture size varies significantly, typically ranging from 100mm to 600mm in width and 50mm to 300mm in height, depending on the intended product dimensions.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, sensitivity is typically high, capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes.

Construction material

Units are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Environmental rating

Many units feature an IP rating, typically IP65 or higher, indicating suitability for washdown environments.
