Welcome to Loma News 

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.

The ideal location to inspect for contaminants within your food production line depends on numerous factors including; what foreign contaminants you are looking to detect, where the highest risk of contamination might occur and the application. Here we look at bulk and free flowing applications.

With the added pressure of Covid-19, many manufacturing businesses have had to re-prioritise their procedures and practices. With these challenges, it is as critical as ever before to not neglect your inspection equipment. 

Within the food industry, Convenience Food, ‘Ready to Eat’, or ‘Food To Go’ are some of the fastest growing sectors worldwide. With consumers living increasingly busy lifestyles, the demand for fast, fresh and healthy food is ever growing.  Also, food tastes are changing, due to world travel and the growing popularity in experiencing different cooking styles.  

Choosing the right inspection system for your application is key to achieve not only the best sensitivities but also ensure the ultimate protection for your process.   At LOMA, our engineers understand and have designed the IQ4 Metal Detection Series to successfully check for metal contaminants in the most diverse of product formats.  

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.
