Loma - IQ4 Metal Detector / Checkweigher

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product weight accuracy for regulatory compliance and waste reduction.
• Inspecting ready meals, baked goods, confectionery, and snack foods.
• Quality control for products in film, foil, or metallised packaging.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly handle up to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Typically requires a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, sensitivity can typically detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes.

Weighing accuracy

Checkweighers commonly offer accuracy within +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, depending on the product weight and speed.

Conveyor belt width

Commonly ranges from 200mm to 400mm for integrated units.

Operating environment

Typically designed for ambient factory conditions, often with an IP65 rating for washdown.

• What types of metal can this unit detect?

  Metal detectors of this type are designed to detect ferrous (iron), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and various grades of stainless steel contaminants.

• Can this unit handle different product sizes?

• What is the typical footprint of an integrated metal detector/checkweigher?

• Are spare parts readily available for Loma IQ4 equipment?

• What kind of maintenance does this equipment require?

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.
