Metal detector checkweigher combination system for food products

Simultaneously detect metal contaminants while ensuring precise product weight to reduce waste and enhance quality in your food production line.

Detects Metals and Weighs Products Simultaneously

The Metal Detector Checkweigher Combination System from Loma Systems is engineered to enhance production line efficiency for food manufacturers, processors, and convenience food producers. By integrating Loma’s IQ4 metal detection technology and CW3 checkweighing capabilities, this system streamlines inspection and weighing processes, minimizing the risk of contamination and product giveaway. Designed for a wide range of applications including bakery, confectionery, and dairy products, it is ideal for end-products such as bread rolls, chocolate bars, and yogurt cups.

The system offers continuous, high-speed operation controlled via a single user interface, ensuring easy integration with existing production lines. Constructed with 304 brushed stainless steel, it operates within a temperature range of -10°C to 35°C, making it suitable for diverse environments. This equipment supports both solid and granular product types and offers a compact footprint, saving up to 25% of valuable line space, vital for production areas with space constraints.

With compliance to international food safety standards, the Metal Detector Checkweigher Combination System provides robust control and quality assurance for food safety and compliance. Enhanced with features such as variable frequency operation and USB data retrieval capabilities, this system facilitates detailed production monitoring and reporting, improving overall output quality and efficiency.
