Loma 6000 Combi Metal Detector/Checkweigher

• Ensuring product weight accuracy and detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Quality control for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, verifying package contents and integrity.
• Inspection of non-food items such as small components or consumer goods for weight conformity and foreign object detection.
• Compliance with industry standards and regulations for product safety and net content control.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type commonly offer accuracy down to +/- 0.5g, suitable for most pre-packed goods regulations.

Metal detection sensitivity

The IQ metal detector series typically offers high sensitivity across ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, with a compressed air supply for the reject mechanism.

Product dimensions

Suitable for products typically ranging from small sachets up to packages weighing several kilograms, with specific dimensions depending on the belt size.

Reject mechanism

Features a ram reject for overweight/underweight products and metal contaminants, along with a belt stop alarm for operational alerts.

Construction materials

Typically constructed from stainless steel, making it suitable for washdown environments common in food processing.

• What is a 'Combi' unit?

  A 'Combi' unit integrates two distinct functions, in this case, a metal detector and a checkweigher, into a single, compact machine. This saves floor space and simplifies line integration.

• How does the ram reject system work?

• Is this unit suitable for wet environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of equipment?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
