New inspection technology on show at Total 2007

Loma Systems and Cintex, leading suppliers of metal detection, checkweighing, X-ray inspection, and temperature systems, will be exhibiting a range of new inspection solutions at Total 2007

Loma Systems and Cintex, leading global suppliers of metal detection, checkweighing, X-ray inspection, temperature measurement and management information systems will be exhibiting a range of new inspection solutions at Total 2007.

Loma and Cintex - part of the specialist technology-based instrumentation and electronic controls company Spectris - produce top quality, robust machines to make food safe.

Their machines are designed to survive even the harshest of manufacturing environments.

On show will be state-of-the-art metal detectors, including the new IQ3, a highly accurate checkweighing and metal detection combo system; the recently launched X4 and entry level XR X-ray systems.

Metal Detection is the traditional end-of-line choice for ensuring finished food products are free from potentially hazardous metal contaminants and the new Loma IQ3 Metal Detector range leads the field in sensitivity, stability and reliability.

Sensitivity to metal in the product, especially stainless steel, is a function of the operating frequency of the metal detector.

Unlike other metal detectors on the market the IQ3 is a true multi-frequency machine with the ability to select the 'correct' operating frequency in seconds.

Furthermore, the revolutionary case and coil geometry delivers a quantum leap in immunity from vibration, electrical interference and thermal shock.

With IP69K environmental protection, the IQ3 is built to withstand the harshest of environments.

With increased flexibility, the IQ3 can be easily adapted to new products, switched to other production lines or manufacturing plants and, due to the fact that production of IQ3 is not dependent on detailed product information, even faster delivery times are planned.

The IQ3 can also incorporate LomaEnet, an Ethernet Reports Capture System, developed for its range of checkweighers and X-Ray systems.

This report and information management system allows the user to view and archive reports, which are required for HACCP and weight legislation.

The Cintex CS COMBO, a combined metal detector and checkweigher, will be displayed on the stand.

This versatile machine can be engineered to suit individual application requirements.

The compact design can be integrated to save line space, in addition to the space saving offered by the smaller footprint of a combined checkweighing and metal detection system over that of two separate machines.

The new Loma X4 range of X-Ray inspection systems, also on display, are the most advanced systems on the market today.

Featuring a revolutionary new high speed USB sensor and Windows XP operating system, all models have an intuitive graphical touch screen display.

Product set-up is an automated process and can be accomplished with minimal operator training.

The high-speed technology maximises sensitivity to both metal and non-metallic contaminants such as glass, stone, calcified bone, high-density plastics and rubber.

With its advanced image processing and simple set-up routines other product defects such as component count, zone mass measurement and shape conformity are all available within the standard package.

Also showcased on the stand will be the highly acclaimed Loma XR entry-level X-Ray system.

The Loma XR delivers the highest levels of performance at a cost comparable with metal detection systems.

The XR offers the simplicity of metal detector construction and delivers outstanding reliability with minimal lifetime costs.
