Metal Detector IQ 2 Loma previously used for Butter blocks 20 kg

Loma IQ IQ 2

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:

Bedpfxezbg Ene An Hown
- 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.
