Wide range of ‘check and detect’
equipment for the food industry
Loma Systems will be
highlighting a wide range
of ‘check and detect’
contaminant inspection
equipment for the food industry.
The newly launched next
generation IQ4 metal detector
series with improved detection
sensitivity will be on the
stand, as will the compact
X5C x-ray and checkweighing
combination machine.
This unit is specially designed
to ensure compliance with
retailers’ codes of practice and
average weight legislation.
Also featured will be the
company’s durable, flexible
and factory-friendly X5 x-ray
inspection models which are
used widely by food producers
across the world.
Loma’s IQ4 series of next
generation metal detection
systems offer significantly
improved sensitivity compared
to previous models and a
plethora of ‘industry first’
features which are purpose
designed to deliver optimum
production efficiencies. With
the combination of enhanced
Auto Learn functionality,
improved product screening
and more sophisticated signal
processing, the IQ4 provides
significant improvements in
detection performance, says
the company.
The IQ4 has enabled Loma
to introduce true variable
frequency technology to
its pipeline, waferthin and
vertical fall metal detectors
for the first time.
Operating between 31-882

Loma’s next generation IQ4 metal detector offers improved detection sensitivity
kHz, all metal detectors in
the IQ4 range are capable of
automatically selecting the
correct operating frequency
so changes in products or
packaging (that necessitate
an alteration in frequency)
no longer require costly
and inconvenient operator
intervention.
In addition, variable
frequency allows processors
to easily run different pack
sizes and shapes while
benefiting from improved
stability and sensitivity.
All models in the IQ4
metal detector range boast
a newly designed 7in colour
touchscreen with a modernised
and more intuitive interface
that has been developed to
simplify operation.
A special new blue sealing
arrangement coupled with a
‘beyond’ IP69K ingress rating
helps make the horizontal
search heads resilient to a host
of tough factory conditions,
including thermal fluctuations
as a result of inspecting
frozen food products and high
temperature wash down with
corrosive chemical agents.
Loma’s popular X5C x-ray
and CW3 combo inspection
system is capable of weighing
products while simultaneously
inspecting for foreign bodies,
all in one integrated system.
The integrated ‘detect
and weigh’ technologies
ensure food safety for brand
protection, and consistency.
