Loma Systems X5c X-ray Inspection System

Loma Systems’ compact X5c is an X-ray system suitable for food manufacturers looking to upgrade their product inspection technology. It’s also suited to smaller production lines and is up to 50% shorter in length than Loma’s X5 X-Ray Inspection System.

The system performs detection of a wide variety of contaminants including ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless steel, glass, ceramic, calcified bone, stone and dense plastic.

The X5c suits end-of-line, packaged goods and incorporates an automatic product learn wizard which eases the switchover of multiple products during operation.

The system can also be combined with Loma’s CW3 checkweigher to provide a combination X-ray and checkweighing system.

The lead-free inspection system is compact, typically requiring less space than a conventional metal detector, requiring 1800 mm including auto-rejection, 1000 mm without. It includes a 300 mm-wide inspection window with no product blind spots and can perform product integrity inspection including counting and missing items.

Typical packing rate is 150 packs/min, with product weights up to 6 kg. Rejection options include air blast, pusher, carriage retract, diverter, sweep arm and signal only for third-party rejection systems.
