Used Loma Systems IQ4 VF 238 Vertical Fall Metal Detector – 8-Inch Gravity Feed Powder Inspection System

Manufacturer

Loma Systems

Product Overview

The Used Loma Systems Vertical Fall Metal Detector, Model IQ4 VF 238, is a high-performance gravity-fed metal detection system designed to inspect free-falling powders, granules, and bulk products for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. Built in 2025, this advanced inspection system features Loma's IQ4 digital detection technology, providing exceptional sensitivity, product integrity, and ease of operation.

Configured with an 8-inch (200 mm) diameter by 55.59-inch (1,412 mm) long vertical aperture, the system is ideal for installation between upstream processing equipment and downstream packaging machinery. A high-speed sealed flap reject mechanism automatically removes contaminated product while minimizing product loss and maintaining sanitary operation. The reject system requires a 5–6 Bar compressed air supply for operation.

Designed for demanding food, pharmaceutical, chemical, plastics, and powder processing applications, this Loma IQ4 system delivers reliable contaminant detection while supporting product quality and regulatory compliance.
