The bigger X5 Space Saver can be integrated into line with optional free standing reject and is available in 300mm and 500mm belt width models. Perfect for products with a height of up to 180mm, the system incorporates an integrated higher power X-ray generator and offers good detection levels on a wide range of hard and soft contaminants including all metals, bone, glass, dense plastics, within most packaging types, including foil trays or metallized film. Loma’s X-ray systems can simultaneously inspect for the integrity of the product, which includes missing items, excess products (by volume count), and x-weighing.

Also on show will be LOMA’s IQ3+E Pipeline, a robust metal detection system designed to inspect pumped products such as soups, sauces, slurries, jams or dairy. Providing Sterile in Place (SIP) and easy strip down cleaning depending on the application, IQ3+E Pipeline complies to EN1672-2 hygiene standards, offering IP69K protection suitable for both high-care and low-care environments.
