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.,
