About the metal
detector range
Freefall versions
This section describes Loma Freefall Metal Detectors, designed to detect ferrous and non-
ferrous contaminants in products fed by gravity through some form of hopper and pipework
into a packaging system.
Short and long frame models
The following illustration shows the surface mount short and long frame models:
NOTE: The detector fitted depends on the model requirements.
The detector system comes fully assembled, requiring installation into its intended operating
position and connection to a single-phase AC supply and an air supply.
The detector and controls are mounted to a robust framework containing a cow bell style
reject diverter which diverts the contaminated product flow away from the vertical using
preset timings. The timings are set to ensure positive rejection of the contaminant with
minimal product wastage.
