The IQ4 series of Metal Detectors include many features designed to aid uptime and productivity, including revolutionary variable frequency technology that optimize detection levels around a wide range of differing product conditions, and an intuitive touchscreen with icon driven menus allowing fast set-up. They also feature ingress ratings of up to IP69K, meaning they are suitable for both high-care and low-care environments.

The new RUN-WET® Metal Detector Conveyor systems help improve water-proofing with complete IP69 protection.

Reliable Detection Performance
Optimized detector mechanics, true Variable Frequency technology, progressive electronics and a better, faster Auto-Learn brings considerable performance gains over prior generation IQ3+ST search heads. Even in challenging applications, such as a heavy-metalized film product, great sensitivity can be set-up with Auto-Learn and inspected without the need for further optimization.

Robust “Designed to Survive” as standard
An improved lip and screen, a new sealing arrangement, proven ultra-harsh mechanics and a “beyond” IP69K rating makes the IQ4 search heads hygienic; easy to clean; and super-tough being able to survive harsh food production environments, whether they are hot, freezing cold, dry, dusty or wet, or a combination of them all!

Modern and Intuitive
A new 7” color touchscreen as standard on every model, a crisp and freshened up interface, and enhanced functionality help deliver a much-improved user experience, helping to minimize user errors and make light work of inspection.

Dynamic Checkweigher Systems

Dynamic Checkweighing is a method of safe guarding within the food and packaging industries for product weights. A Checkweigher system will check weights of products whilst in motion, rejecting any products that are over or under the set weight. All our Checkweigher systems are approved to both OIML and MID (EC TAC) specifications and include Automatic Mean Weight correct, which helps to ensure weight legislation.

Loma’s CW3 range of Dynamic Checkweighers are easy to use with intuitive full colour touchscreens and icon-driven menus as well as offering fast inspection and product set up, automatically optimising the systems for each product type allowing you to learn and switch within minutes. Our machines are made for products ranging from small and light sachets right through to Heavy weight boxes.

• CW3 RUN-WET® Checkweigher
• CW3 Checkweigher for up to 12 kg
• Checkweigher for up to 60 kg
• Draglink Checkweigher for Cans, Jars and Bottles

X-ray detection is a fast growing inspection method used within food production factories and provides improved safety and brand protection. Operating under LOMA’s core “Designed to Survive“ philosophy, our engineering teams provide solutions built around the following key values for X-ray inspection systems in the food industry.

SAFE – Delivers product safety to the end consumer as well as operational safety during use
DURABLE – Tough, robust and reliable systems designed specifically for any food production environment
FLEXIBLE – Capable for a variety of inspection needs with multiple inspection algorithms as well as unique Adaptive Array Technology (AAT)
FRIENDLY – Easy operation, factory and environmentally friendly, helps deliver low cost of ownership

In addition to inspecting for metal contaminants, X-ray systems provide detection of bone, glass, stone and dense plastics within food products, as well as having the ability to detect metal contaminants within foil trays or metallized packaging.

For nearly 20 years, LOMA SYSTEMS® has been developing X-ray technologies for food inspection. With a wealth of experience gained from many installations around the world with producers, both large and small, LOMA have introduced the fifth generation of X-ray Systems, the X5 Series.

The X5 range come complete with full color touchscreen, multilevel password access storing data logged events for traceability, image optimization, AAT technology and much more.

• X5C Compact X-Ray Inspection
• X5 Space Saver X-Ray Inspection
• X5 Pack X-Ray Inspection
• X5 Pack Curtainless X-ray Inspection
• X5 SideShoot X-ray Inspection
• X5 Pipeline for Pumped Foods
• X5 Bulk Flow for Loose Food Inspection
• X5 Spacesaver/CW3 Check & Detect Combination System

LOMA SYSTEMS® provides a range of software solutions designed for data reporting and analysis.  Software solutions are designed to display live or historical data from all production lines within the factory to provide a blanket solution for all LOMA® inspection machines.

Comnbination Systems

Creating a Comprehensive Critical Control Point

LOMA’s integrated Combination Systems are the ideal way to inspect and weigh all in one machine, with the option of a system combining either metal detection or X-ray inspection capabilities along with dynamic checkweighing. Combination Systems not only provide several key quality and efficiency benefits, but as there is only one supplier, this simplifies line management from the initial installation, to sourcing of spare parts, to future servicing requirements.

The ability to save space is also an advantage for a factory where room is a premium, as combining the functions can help save up to around 25% with this Combination System’s footprint versus the equivalent if two separate machines were to be installed.

With Combination Systems being able to check the product’s weight, they are perfect for checking food in its finished form, such as packaged food to go and convenience foods that is about to be shipped to the retailer. With a Combination System, customers have the reassurance of a robust Critical Control Point (CCP), as it is designed to highlight any detection and weight issues, helping improve quality of production output and simplifying processes.
