By your selection of a Loma IQ3X Metal Detection System you have demonstrated your intention
to assure the quality of your products, and thereby protect your customers.
The following points are recommended:
Once your Loma IQ3X Metal Detection System is installed you should contact your local
l
Loma Service Department to have it commissioned.
Regularly test the operation of the Metal Detection System to monitor its performance.
l
Keep accurate records of those tests and any samples being used along with the product
details.
If the Metal Detection System fails a test, quarantine the products passed through the
l
system from the last successful test and re-introduce them through the system once the
system is fit for use.
Have the Metal Detection System supported by a Planned Preventative Maintenance
l
Contract. Details can be obtained from your local Loma Service Department.
If you have or intend to have BS EN 9000 accreditation, write a section into your Operating
l
Procedures Manual covering the operation and maintenance of the Metal Detection
System and carry out regular calibration of the machine to ensure its accuracy.
Finally, at least on a yearly basis and when any changes or additions have been made,
l
have your operators, QA and maintenance personnel trained in the use of the Metal
Detection System. Details of available training can be obtained from your local Loma
Service Department or by sending an email to enquiries@loma.com.
