Oakshire Mushroom Farm needed new metal detectors to accommodate rising demand. This case study explains the selection process and how the technoloy improved food safety and final product quality.
To combat the issues of contamination, many food manufacturers, who have previously relied upon manual sorting and inspection, are embracing novel technologies and sorting systems.
In order to meet the global population’s growing demand for food, research by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) predicts that the worldwide food manufacturing and processing industries need to increase their total output by 70 percent by 2050. This article will explain several ways to enhance the efficiency of food production.
Almost a third of all food produced worldwide is never eaten, leading to 1.3 billion tons of food waste each year. This includes around 45 per cent of all fruit and vegetables and 20 per cent of meat. Just one quarter of this wasted food could feed the 795 million chronically hungry people around the world.

Data revealing aflatoxins to be the biggest cause of foodrelated recalls demonstrates the important role effective sorting and quality analysis systems can play in boosting food safety on the production line. By Ashley Hunter, Senior Vice President & Head of TOMRA Sorting Food
As environmental scrutiny of global industries continues to grow, governments are seeking to impose energy efficiency targets on companies in order to comply with new directives. By Dr. Doug Reid, Engineering Manager at TOMRA Sorting Food
Food Metal detectors that are used where space is limited and without a reject option. Gravity Free-Fall Style Food Metal Detectors can detect all metals, whether loose or encapsulated in the product flow.
X-Ray inspection systems of the Dyxim FB-series are used to inspect products in cartons, plastic bags, metalized foils and bulk products. The Dyxim FB-series is able to detect metal, glass, bones, ceramics and special plastics (PVC). It is available in different versions such as FB 40, FB 80, FB 120 and FB 160.
Cassel's METAL SHARK® Conveyor Tunnel Metal Detector, typically integrated onto a conveyor belt, readily adjusts settings to ensure extreme equipment sensitivity, stability and reliability. Cassel Metal Detectors offer high quality Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) technology for use in bulk materials or packaged products on a powered belt conveyor process line.
All new from the ground up, Eriez’ new Xtreme® Metal Detector sets the standard for “best in class” performance and offers the greatest dollar-for-dollar value of any detector on the market. This feature-rich, multi-frequency unit is designed to achieve the highest levels of sensitivity to detect small ferrous and non-ferrous metal contaminants in sanitary and non-sanitary environments.
Ideal for packaging line inspection, the MET30+ 3f Metal Detectors operate at three crystal tuned frequencies, enabling inspection of products in either metallized film or poly packaging
Neodymium Blocks and Block Magnets are made in a variety of sizes and grades to meet all types of applications.
Mettler-Toledo Safeline’s new range of HDS Pipeline Metal Detectors is developed specifically for use on vacuum filling lines for detection sensitivity and stability, as well as user-friendly operation in potentially harsh or extreme working environments.
Determining your facility’s risks is the first step to preventing product contamination. However, once risk is determined, an assessment should be completed to determine the areas where the most foreign materials can enter a food manufacturing or processing line. This podcast offers insight to limiting your food making facility’s risk factors of foreign body contamination.
