Loma Systems, the global leader in non-contact inspection systems, recently unveiled the IQ+ Pharma metal detection system for phamaceutical applications. The IQ+ Pharma is designed for inspection of pills and tablets. The IQ+ Pharma features a full color, icon driven control panel. The control panel comes preinstalled with an operator's manual in multiple languages, ethernet and USB port connectivity, and built-in system reporting to meet HACCP and other quality assurance standards.

The IQ+ Pharma is constructed of stainless steel throughout to provide a hygenic, easily cleaned inspection environment. All contact points are made from high grade plastic and mirrored stainless steel provide easy cleaning and prevention of cross contamination. The system is designed for easy maintenance, and has no loose parts and no tools are required for dismantling.

The compact unit takes up minimum system length and can be located before or after the de-duster. The gas strut allows the unit to be easily adjusted to any tablet press and the angle of the product chute can be adjusted by a quick release clamp.

Loma IQ+ Pharma has Loma's unique Automatic Product Learn system. The metal detector can be automatically calibrated - even under production conditions when the product is constantly flowing through the detector.

The IQ+ Pharma will begin shipping in September 2010.
