Seafood manufacturer opts for Loma

Seafood manufacturer Joseph Robertson has recently installed two further CW3 combination checkweigher and metal detection units and a standalone IQ3 metal detector from Loma Systems.

This equipment, which complements three existing CW3 machines, provides extra inspection capacity in line with growth and also replaces outdated models at the seafood manufacturing plant in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Installed on three separate packing lines, the new Loma CW3 combination checkweigher and metal detection units and IQ3 metal detector are inspecting a range of seafood products, including frozen and chilled coated fillets and fishcakes, for contaminants at speeds up to 80 packs per minute.

Loma’s Alex Learmonth says, “The preparation of seafood involves processes such as trimming, boning, gutting, skinning and filleting. A quality control system such as the CW3 combination allows early identification of foreign bodies during the production process.”
