Welcome to Loma News 

Has your metal detector ever gone into meltdown, rejecting product that you know is good for no apparent reason? This can be an alarming situation, causing delays in your food production, but it can be down to a very simple reason – Metal in the Metal Free Zone (MFZ). 

Find out how functional and fail-safe systems help improve food manufacturing safety and stop hazards that could result in product recalls and loss of customer goodwill. 

All LOMA inspection systems are designed with IP ratings in mind, to ensure the right protection for your production environment.  This guide helps ensure you know what IP ratings are and the protection each offer.

As part of your inspection system's safety, regular testing is important to verify the metal detector or X-ray is correctly detecting. Quality test pieces are crucial to check the machine is finding the contaminant sizes it is expected to find, so compliance and set standards are achieved.

When a line inspecting packaged product frequently switches product, the optional Barcode Scanner for the IQ4 Metal Detector Series is the perfect accessory for quickly and accurately identifying the product.

When selecting a metal detector, you want to make the right choice for your business and maximise the return on the investment.

Loma takes a look at the FDA's 21CFR Part 11 compliance guideline to see what it means and how it is increasingly relevant to Pharmaceutical production.
