Loma - Loma - Metal Detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards prior to dispatch.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from potential damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Quality control in bakeries, confectioneries, meat processing, and ready meal production lines.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically designed for continuous operation, handling conveyor speeds commonly found in food production lines.

Aperture size

For this class of equipment, aperture dimensions (width x height) are critical and vary significantly depending on the product being inspected. Buyers should confirm exact dimensions with the seller.

Detection sensitivity

Commonly capable of detecting very small metal particles, with sensitivity levels adjustable based on product effect and contaminant type.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial electrical supply, commonly 230V or 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for units of this type.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel to meet hygiene standards in food processing environments.

Environmental rating

Often designed to an IP (Ingress Protection) rating suitable for washdown environments, typically IP65 or higher.
