Loma Systems has unveiled a range of super space saving CW3 Compact Combination Checkweighing and Metal Detection units. With an up to 30 per cent smaller footprint than similar systems and a modular, hygienic design, these new additions to the company’s CW3 portfolio ensure high levels of quality assurance by providing superior and reliable product inspection for food processors, manufacturers and packers with limited production space.

The new, OIML R51 and EC TA (MID) accredited CW3 Compact Combo range has been built to the company’s ‘Designed to Survive’ specifications, using heavy duty components and offering best possible levels of performance.

Fully constructed from stainless steel, Loma’s slim CW3 Compact Combo features a convenient, modular design that saves valuable line space and ensures continuous operation. The system can adapt to a wide range of different products because of its true variable frequency metal detection and versatile checkweighing capabilities.

Offering low lifetime cost of ownership and significant cost-savings, the new unit features the superior performance and accuracy of a CW3 checkweigher with the high detection performance of an IQ3 metal detector. The checkweigher measures product weights quickly and precisely: with a specially developed diverter rejecting ‘out of tolerance’ products, while the metal detector consistently detects and rejects contaminated products.

Tony Bryant, UK Sales Manager at Loma Systems comments: “Loma has created a superior food inspection system within one single, super space saving frame. Offering the highest levels of quality assurance, it will enable food companies to save valuable line space, allowing for increased operating efficiencies and plant floor space to be optimised, all of which creates a safer, more practical working environment. The hygienic design of the CW3 Compact Combo and its innovative quick release belt allows for simplified cleaning procedures. While the combination of two machines in one is not a new concept, this latest significantly slimmer design provides a more cost-effective and efficient solution for the food industry.”
