HACO AG, based in Gümlingen, Switzerland is part of the international HACO Holding company. The company makes individual, innovative convenience food solutions with the culinary diversity that is HACO's passion. The manufacturer chose to use GARVENS checkweighing technology and SAFELINE metal detectors from METTLER TOLEDO to ensure product quality.

"At the HACO Group we place a lot of value on our successfully implemented quality and environmental management systems," explains Max Weiler, who is responsible for systems planning at HACO. "As a quality-focused business that understands its responsibilities, we have been certified according to ISO, BRC/IFS, halal, organic and kosher standards as well as specific national standards for many years. In addition, we often surpass these standards to meet the requirements of our business partners at home and abroad."

HACO AG has been a METTLER TOLEDO customer for over 30 years. Before their soups, sauces and other products reach the retailer or end consumer, they undergo extensive quality control inspection. Integrated high-performance metal detectors from METTLER TOLEDO SAFELINE check the ingredients for metal contamination that could have entered the product during processing. The gravity fall detectors used were developed specially for inspecting powders and granular products. The high frequency technology of the metal detectors ensure extremely high sensitivity to all types of metal including non-magnetic stainless steels and all contaminants including wires, swarf and processing blade tips. The metal detectors can achieve a throughput of up to 6000 kg per hour.
