Gravity fed metal detector for dried foods
In the food processing industry, ensuring that products are free from metallic contaminants is critical, especially in the handling of dried foods, cereals, and grains. Efficient detection systems are required to prevent contamination and maintain product quality without disrupting the production process.
Detect metallic contaminants in gravity-fed systems
The IQ4 Waferthin from Loma is a compact gravity-fed metal detection system designed to be installed between gravity feed hoppers, multi-head weighers, and VFFS bagging machines. It operates with a minimal metal-free zone, integrating seamlessly with control systems on bagging machines for maximum efficiency and quality assurance. Equipped with Loma’s variable-frequency technology, the IQ4 Waferthin can optimize detection levels for various product conditions, including those that are wet or dry. The system features a 7” color touchscreen with an intuitive user interface for easy setup and operation, reducing the likelihood of user errors. Constructed with 304 stainless steel and sealed to IP66 standards, the detector is suitable for washdown applications and is designed to survive in rigorous industrial environments.
