LOMA Systems - Loma IQ2F / IQ3 Twin-Head metal detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products on production lines.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Quality control for non-food items, such as textiles or plastics, to protect downstream machinery.
• Inspection of bulk materials for foreign object detection prior to further processing.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 10 to over 100 products per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, typically 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz, is required.

Detection sensitivity

Typically capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity varying based on aperture size and product effect.

Aperture size

Twin-head systems commonly feature two detection apertures, with dimensions varying significantly based on the intended product size and application.

Construction material

Units of this type typically feature stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability in food and pharmaceutical environments.

Reject system

This unit includes an alarm and belt stop on detect reject system, which is a common and effective method for contaminant removal.

Frame adjustability

Mounted on a height-adjustable frame, offering flexibility for integration into various production lines.

• What is the benefit of a twin-head metal detector?

  A twin-head system allows for two independent detection zones, often used for inspecting products at different stages of production or for handling two separate product streams simultaneously, enhancing throughput or detection accuracy.

• What types of metals can this detector find?

• How does the 'alarm and belt stop' reject system work?

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Can this metal detector be integrated into an existing production line?

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.
