LOMA SYSTEMS IQ4 Lock-PH pharmaceutical metal detector

Loma Systems has launched its upgraded IQ4 LOCK-PH Pharmaceutical Metal Detector, with two units available offering different reject capabilities. One of these units has a simple lift flap reject, while the other has a wash-in-place (WIP) reject. The lift flap reject system is simple but effective, as a flap lifts to send contaminated capsules or tablets into a reject bottle. The WIP option, on the other hand, allows users to attach a water hose to the reject nozzle and wash the item out rather than manually cleaning it. The WIP reject option is completely watertight.

The detector is designed to inspect up to 30,000 tablets, capsules, soft gels or lozenges per minute and integrates with production line equipment. Ensuring easy handling by operators, the device features a multilingual interface and a 7″ touchscreen. The system also provides high-level security access and reporting options, with all reports being saved in PDF encrypted files to meet strict global manufacturing standards.

Loma has also launched its IQ4 FLEX Conveyor Metal Detector — a flexible conveyor that can be customised by the user according to their needs, adjusting the aperture height, belt speed and belt lengths. It is suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications and for inspecting fully packaged items before shipping.
