LOMA Systems Superscan Micro

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance in confectionery, bakery, and snack food production lines.
• Quality control for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to prevent metallic foreign objects.
• Inspection of bulk materials such as grains, powders, and plastics prior to processing.

Typical aperture size

Commonly ranges from 200mm to 400mm width, and 100mm to 250mm height, depending on product dimensions.

Power supply

Typically single-phase 230V AC, 50Hz, drawing a low current.

Conveyor speed

For this class of equipment, speeds commonly range from 10 to 40 metres per minute, adjustable to line requirements.

Detection sensitivity

Capable of detecting very small metal particles, typically down to 0.8mm ferrous, 1.0mm non-ferrous, and 1.5mm stainless steel spheres.

Construction materials

Generally features a stainless steel frame and food-grade conveyor belt, suitable for washdown environments.

Footprint

A compact design is typical, with lengths commonly between 1.2m and 2.0m, and widths matching the aperture plus frame.
