LOMA Systems - LOMA Systems

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and quality in confectionery and bakery lines.
• Inspecting pharmaceuticals for foreign object detection.
• Quality control in non-food industries, such as textiles or plastics, to protect downstream machinery.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 10 to 60 metres per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase 230V AC supply, 50Hz.

Detection sensitivity

LOMA IQ2 detectors are known for high sensitivity to ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, typically down to sub-millimetre sizes depending on aperture and product effect.

Construction material

As described, these units commonly feature all stainless steel construction, suitable for washdown environments.

Control interface

Typically, these models feature a user-friendly digital interface for setup and monitoring.

Environmental rating

Many LOMA IQ2 units are designed to meet IP65 or higher ratings, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
