Loma Systems IQ³ metal detector head with Atex21 certification

The IQ³ metal detector head from Loma Systems has been awarded Atex21 certification, enabling in-processing metal detection in areas where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists. The detector head is available as a complete system or as a retrofit.

Atex21 compliance was achieved using a combination of low-temperature electronics and advanced sealing techniques.

The IQ³ metal detector uses variable frequency technology, which allows the operator to auto-select the correct frequency. The system also includes an Automatic Product Learn System, enabling it to calibrate and retain the characteristics and settings for up to 100 product lines.

The head can withstand harsh operating environments where rigorous washdown procedures are required. It includes an onboard performance validation system that tests performance at preset intervals, helping to create a detailed audit trail for each production run.
