Intended Use of the Machine
Permitted Use
Loma metal detectors are designed to be used for detecting metal contaminants in products
presented in packets, pouches or in loose products.
Loma metal detectors ensure product safety, equipment protection and regulatory compliance by
automatically removing contaminated products from the production line, stopping the line, alerting the
operator or a combination of these.
Improper Use
■
Loma metal detectors are not domestic appliances and should only be used in an industrial
environment.
■
Loma metal detectors are not suitable for installation or use in explosive or potentially explosive
atmospheres.
■
Metal detectors must only be installed, operated, serviced and maintained in accordance with
the instructions included in this User Guide.
■
Electric arc welding must not be carried out on any part of the metal detector unless authorised
by Loma Systems.
■
All mechanical and electrical protection devices must not be removed or reduced.
■
The metal detector is not designed for use in hazardous environments where there is a risk to
the health and safety of the operator.
■
The metal detector must not be operated in very dry environments which can generate
electrostatic charges.
Noise Levels
Generally in an industrial environment some background noise is present due to the operation of
electrical equipment and mechanical movements of machinery such as conveyors and motors.
Loma checkweighers do not emit a level of noise that is hazardous. However, in line with current
legislation, the customer should verify that the overall noise levels within the operating environment
are within defined limits.
End of Life Treatment
In accordance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment recycling (WEEE) Regulations
2012/19/EU and CE Directive 2002/96/EC, electrical and electronic equipment must be recycled at
the end of its useful life.
The metal detector is considered to be a Large-scale Stationary Industrial Tool (LSIT) as defined in
Article 2 of the WEEE Regulations. Consequently it is the responsibility of the user of the equipment
to ensure the safe disposal of the machine at the end of its useful life.
Emergency Procedures
1 EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN.
This metal detector is fitted with an emergency
