Loma IQ3

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and quality control in confectionery and bakery lines.
• Identifying metal foreign bodies in pharmaceutical products prior to packaging.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal inclusions.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed, but units of this type commonly handle hundreds to thousands of items per minute.

Power supply

Typically 230V, single-phase, 50Hz, common for industrial equipment in the UK.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, sensitivity is typically in the range of 0.5mm to 3.0mm for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel, depending on aperture size and product effect.

Aperture dimensions

Commonly available in various sizes to suit different product dimensions; buyers should verify the specific unit's aperture.

Construction material

Typically stainless steel for hygiene and durability, especially in food processing environments.

Conveyor belt width

Varies with the aperture size, commonly ranging from 200mm to 600mm for general purpose units.

• What types of metal can a Loma IQ3 detect?

  The Loma IQ3 series is designed to detect all types of metals, including ferrous (iron), non-ferrous (aluminium, copper), and difficult-to-detect stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or dry products?

• What is the typical footprint of a Loma IQ3 metal detector?

• Does it come with a reject mechanism?

• What maintenance is typically required for a Loma IQ3?

Metal detectors for food processing remain reliable workhorses in quality control operations. Buyers typically value their durability and consistent contamination detection capability. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history and sensitivity settings proves essential. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward maintenance records and minimal downtime. Common strengths include robust construction, straightforward operation, and cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment. Prospective buyers should verify functional testing documentation and assess integration compatibility with existing production lines.
