Loma - Used Loma IQ Metal Detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products such as bakery, confectionery, and ready meals.
• Inspecting raw ingredients or bulk materials for metal fragments before processing.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical production to ensure tablet or capsule integrity.
• Identifying metal foreign bodies in non-food items like textiles, plastics, or timber.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by metal contamination.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically designed for high-speed production lines, handling hundreds of items per minute depending on product size and line speed.

Aperture size

Commonly available in various aperture sizes to accommodate different product dimensions, from small packaged goods to larger bulk items.

Power supply

Typically operates on a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, commonly 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

Construction material

Generally constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability, especially in food processing environments.

Detection sensitivity

Offers high sensitivity for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with specific levels depending on the coil configuration and product effect.

Conveyor belt material

Typically features food-grade conveyor belts, such as PU or PVC, suitable for direct food contact and easy cleaning.

Environmental rating

Often rated to IP65 or higher, making them suitable for washdown environments.
