LOMA Systems IQ2

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products such as bakery items, confectionery, and ready meals.
• Ensuring product integrity in pharmaceutical manufacturing by identifying metal fragments in tablets or capsules.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage by detecting metal in bulk materials like grains, powders, or aggregates.
• Quality control in non-food industries such as plastics, textiles, and recycling to remove metallic foreign objects.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 10 to 60 metres per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase 230V AC supply, with typical power consumption around 0.5 kW.

Detection sensitivity

Sensitivity for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants typically ranges from 0.8mm to 2.5mm, depending on aperture size and product effect.

Conveyor belt material

Commonly food-grade PU or PVC, designed for durability and hygiene in processing environments.

Rejection system

Units often feature an alarm belt stop, as noted for this unit, or may include air blast, pushers, or retracting conveyors for automatic rejection.

Operating environment

Typically designed for indoor use in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C, with an IP rating commonly around IP65 for washdown capability.

Footprint

The overall length of the conveyor system for a unit of this type can typically range from 1.5m to 2.5m, with a width around 0.8m to 1.2m.
