X-ray Inspection System - Bulk
The Loma X4 range of bulk X-ray inspection systems are the most advanced on the market today. All models are highly sensitive to both metal and non-metallic contaminants such as glass, stone, calcified bone, high-density plastics and rubber. The design is optimised for the inspection of products that are transported loose and unpacked prior to packing and processing - such as nuts, grains, cereals, frozen fruit and vegetables or for formed products such as potato cakes & hamburgers. Loma X4 X-ray bulk systems are robust, reliable, hygienic and simple to use.
To minimise product waste a high speed and accurate multiflap reject mechanism rejects portions by selecting only the area of flow in which a contaminant has been detected.
Models
- A range of standard belt widths are available, between 300mm (12") and 600mm (24"), with apertures heights to 250mm (9.8")
- Each model is available with two variable power bands - high power (HP) and low power (LP). The low power system being suitable for most bulk food applications
