LOMA SHOWCASES NEW CHECKWEIGHER AT INTERPACK 2008
Thursday 08. May 2008 - Loma Systems, leading global suppliers of metal detection, checkweighing, and X-ray inspection systems will be exhibiting a range of new next generation inspection solutions at this years Interpack show, to be held at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre in April.
Loma will be showcasing their exciting new checkweigher – the CW3 at this years show. The compact and versatile CW3 machine can be engineered to suit individual application requirements and will fit comfortably into most existing conveyor systems. Loma units are well known for their toughness and durability and every unit is designed to survive even the harshest of manufacturing environments. Reflecting this, the CW3 is constructed of stainless steel, right down to bearings and rollers. The machine is built in a modular format so it can share common components with other machines and spare parts can be changed quickly.
Loma staff will be on hand at Interpack to demonstrate how easy the CW3 Checkweigher is to use. The multi-lingual control system is designed to be simple and easy to use, even for less experienced operators, thanks to its with a clear and well layed out touch-screen control panel.
The CW3 has a USB connection and a PC interface making it easy to produce diagnostic and statistical reports of performance, and to download these either to memory stick or to a factory network.
As well as the new CW3 Checkweigher, Loma will also be showcasing its IQ3+ metal detector system. Metal detection is the industry-standard method for ensuring finished food products are free from potentially hazardous metal contaminants and Lomas range of metal detectors lead the field in sensitivity, stability and reliability.
The IQ3+ is a star performer, leaving other manufacturers metal detectors behind thanks to its increased immunity to vibration, electrical interference, case distortion and thermal shock. This innovative variable frequency metal detector makes HACCP and retailer compliance simple, thanks to its on-board Ethernet and USB connection.
Loma will also be exhibiting the IQ² FreeFall Metal Detection System, which provides highly sensitive metal detection for all types of gravity – fed products such as snack foods, frozen vegetables, cereals, sugar, coffee/tea and flour.
Complementing the checkweighing and metal detection products on show, Loma will also be displaying the X4 X-ray machine, which is able to detect non-metallic contaminants and monitor weight, size and shape of products to maintain strict safety and quality control. The X4 system is robust, reliable, hygienic and simple to use, offering customers a sophisticated, easy-to-operate and multi-functional inspection system. As with all Lomas products, X-Ray customers will benefit from Lomas high level of after sales service, and will receive a tailor made solution to their X-ray inspection requirements, proving the capabilities of the system before installation.
