Description

This is a LOMA Systems IQ-series industrial metal detector, commonly used in food and dairy processing lines. Here’s a clear, practical breakdown of what it is and what it does.


Its job is foreign body detection — specifically metal contamination — to protect:


  • Product safety
  • Equipment (pumps, fillers, valves)
  • Brand and compliance (HACCP, BRC, IFS, etc.)



You’ll typically find these on:


  • Dairy products (cheese, butter, powders)
  • Ready meals
  • Meat & poultry
  • Bakery
  • Packaged foods on conveyors






What metals it detects



The IQ range detects all three common metal types:


  • Ferrous (iron, steel)
  • Non-ferrous (brass, aluminium)
  • Stainless steel (the hardest to detect in food environments)



Sensitivity depends on:


  • Aperture size
  • Product type (wet/dry, salt content)
  • Conveyor speed
  • Calibration






The LOMA IQ control system



The LOMA IQ® controller you showed is the heart of the machine.


Key features:


  • Digital signal processing (very stable, low false rejects)
  • Product memory presets (quick changeovers)
  • Automatic calibration
  • Password protection (QA / operator levels)
  • Event & fault logging (useful for audits)
  • Reject confirmation & fail-safe monitoring



This is why LOMA machines are popular in regulated food plants.



  • Conveyor metal detector with integrated electronics
  • Stainless steel construction (washdown suitable)
  • Reject output (air blast, pusher, stop-on-detect — depends on configuration)
  • Industrial power supply (as per the data plate)



The data plate confirms:


  • 415V 3-phase + neutral
  • 240V single-phase control circuit
  • UK-manufactured (LOMA Systems, Hampshire)






Why buyers like these



  • Extremely reliable
  • Easy to validate and document
  • Long service life
  • Strong resale value
  • Widely supported (spares & engineers)



That’s why they’re common on the used dairy machinery market.
