Pharma and Food Inspection Trailblazers Unveil Three Systems at interpack
Loma Systems and Lock Inspection will showcase why they are deserving champions of the EEF Future Manufacturing Awards 2013 ‘Innovative Operating Practices and Processes Award’. The detection and inspection specialists will present the largest display to date of combined Loma and Lock systems, including a new portfolio of food and pharmaceutical metal detection, checkweighing and x-ray inspection systems.
The team will unveil three new inspection systems at interpack, including the two next generation metal detectors — Loma’s SureTune IQ3+ ST, and Lock’s INSIGHT PH. The final offering is being kept under wraps until the opening day.
The IQ3+ ST is Loma’s new SureTune metal detector. It resolves challenges like user traceability with a new Access Log supporting 21 CFR Part 11 and storing up to 500 events. The new IQ3+ ST also addresses drifting of the head coil and false product rejects caused by subtle variations in atmospheric temperature and product characteristics. Plus, an intelligent product validation system now memorises defined test intervals by product and the individual retailer’s code of practice. These new features, and more, make it the ideal solution for high-speed food manufacturing co-packers that must adhere to different retailers’ test parameters.
Already highly acclaimed by industry experts, the improved INSIGHT PH pharmaceutical metal detector has a new easy-clean polished frame that resolves potential stability issues caused by noisy processing environments. A hectic exhibition provides the perfect opportunity for users to test this out. Hygienic according to FDA standards, the frame is height adjustable and comes with a robust clamping sleeve, removing the need for resin assembly. For ease of installation, there are 200 product presets and the permanent memory stores up to 8,000 data events, even during a power interruption or disconnect.
In total, seven flagship systems will be on the stand, including Loma’s CW3 SlimLine combination checkweighing and metal detector system, which is taking the food manufacturing market by storm. Lock’s compact INSIGHT VF vertical fall metal detector will also be there, which is created specifically for the pharmaceutical industry to inspect incoming raw materials in powder and granular form and comply with 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211.
Live testing is fully encouraged, with visitors openly invited to bring along samples of shelf-ready products to run through the systems.
