LOMA IQ3 COMBINATION UNIT

• Ensuring product weight accuracy and detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Quality control for pharmaceuticals, identifying underweight or overweight packages and foreign objects.
• Inspection of cosmetics and personal care items for correct fill levels and metal presence.
• Verifying completeness and safety of small industrial components and hardware kits.
• Packaging lines for confectionery, snacks, and baked goods, maintaining consistency and safety standards.

Typical throughput

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

Power supply

Typically requires a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, though three-phase options exist.

Weighing accuracy

For this type of equipment, accuracy is commonly within +/- 0.5g to 2g, depending on the product and speed.

Metal detection sensitivity

Commonly detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity varying by aperture size and product effect.

Footprint

A combination unit like the IQ3 typically requires a linear footprint of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length.

Construction materials

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel (304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and durability in food environments.

• What is a combination unit?

  A combination unit integrates both a metal detector and a checkweigher onto a single frame, saving space and streamlining the end-of-line inspection process.

• Can this unit handle different product sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• How is product rejection handled?

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.
