METAL CONTAMINATION PRODUCTS

Designed for the flour, grain, bulk material and free-flowing product industries, the METAL SHARK GF (gravity free-fall) metal detector promises maximum detection of magnetic and nonmagnetic contaminants. Generally integrated into a free-flowing product pipeline and enclosed in a 100% stainless steel housing, Cassel metal detectors help food processors and others to meet HACCP, IFS, BRC and GMP safety standards. The powered reject system, framing and controls are available in sanitary design for food-grade process applications.

Magnetic tubes are commonly used to remove small to medium sized ferrous tramp metal contaminants from a variety of product streams. Typical uses include removing metallic grit from hydraulic reservoirs to minimize wear on machine seals and bushings, and removing unwanted ferrous contaminants in food and chemical processing systems.

Magnetic systems for the separation of ferrous contaminations from various materials in production and recycling industries.

Bunting Magnetics Co. has raised the Bread Pan Magnet bar for both Proofing and Oven lines in the food processing industry. Featuring neodymium magnets for maximum holding power, Bunting Bread Pan Magnets are easy to use, easy to adjust (laterally or vertically) and are designed to ‘float’ on racks to maintain pan contact – even with warped or imperfect pans.

WIPOTEC-OCS metal contaminant detectors reliably detect any contamination of your products by the finest metal particles for food processing and packaging. Their usage provides greater customer trust in relation to the best possible product safety. Our detectors can be used both as stand-alone solutions and as space-saving combinations with WIPOTEC-OCS weighing technology.

C-SCAN GHF metal detectors are primarily used in the food industry mounted on conveyor belts, inclined slides or other product transport systems. They detect all magnetic and nonmagnetic metals, (ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel) regardless of where the contaminant is within the product.

If you’re simply meeting your HACCP foreign material spec, you may be missing many potential cost-saving opportunities. Learn how greater detection levels can reduce your false reject rates as well as minimize or possibly eliminate your need to rework products.

Watch this short demo and discover what you might be missing with only one to two frequencies in multi-frequency metal detection.

In this podcast, Rob Tiernay, Director of Sales at Anritsu, discusses with Food Online Voices how food manufacturers can strike a balance between improving profit margins while ensuring product safety. Additionally, Tiernay explores some of the needs, both in the long and short term, which food manufacturers should account for when deciding if a metal detection or X-Ray inspection solution is right for their company. Further, Tiernay elaborates on the advancements that product inspection solutions have made in detecting low-density contaminants in food products. Finally, Tiernay discusses setting up new manufacturing lines and the best possible point of foreign body detection based on food product type.

In this podcast, Rob Rogers, Senior Advisor of Food Safety and Regulation with Mettler-Toledo, discusses with Food Online Voices some recent, high-profile examples of foreign bodies causing food recalls. Further, Rogers mentions the most common types of foreign body contaminants causing food recalls and what food manufacturers can do to prevent them from entering the market. Additionally, Rogers addresses the long-term benefits food manufacturers, processors, and packagers will see from implementing foreign body detection systems and offers advice to companies seeking metal detection and X-Ray inspection systems. Finally, Rogers mentions FSMA, how it is impacting the food manufacturing industry, and how it is helping innovate the foreign body detection systems market.
