LOMA X4 X-RAY MACHINE

• Detecting foreign bodies such as metal, glass, stone, and dense plastics in packaged food products.
• Inspecting sealed products for missing components or incorrect fill levels.
• Quality control for products in various packaging types, including films, cartons, and jars.
• Ensuring product integrity and safety in confectionery, bakery, meat, and dairy processing lines.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 30 to 300 products per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 230V or 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, requiring a stable power source.

Detection capabilities

X-ray systems typically detect contaminants down to 0.4mm for metal, 1.0mm for glass, and 2.0mm for dense plastics, varying with product density and size.

Product dimensions

Units of this type commonly accommodate products with widths typically up to 300mm and heights up to 150mm, though this varies by model.

Reject system

This unit is described as having a 'knock off reject' system, which is a common method for removing non-conforming products from the line.

Construction material

X-ray inspection systems are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Operating environment

Designed for industrial environments, these machines typically operate within standard factory temperatures and humidity levels.

• What types of contaminants can an X-ray machine detect?

  X-ray machines are highly effective at detecting a wide range of foreign bodies including metals (ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless steel), glass, calcified bone, stones, and dense plastics. They can also identify product defects like missing items.

• Is an X-ray machine safe for food products and operators?

• What kind of maintenance does an X-ray machine require?

• Can this X-ray machine inspect products in various packaging types?

• What is a 'knock off reject' system?

X-ray inspection systems hold strong reputation in food processing quality control. Buyers typically value their ability to detect foreign contaminants and ensure product consistency. When purchasing used equipment, inspect calibration records, detector functionality, and compliance with current safety standards. Common strengths include reliable contaminant detection, minimal product damage compared to alternative methods, and established integration with production lines. Maintenance history and original manufacturer documentation prove important for ongoing performance and regulatory compliance.
