Why you need a metal detector for your food products?

Why you need a metal detector for your food products?

Because your food business depends on it. Metal detector help safeguard your brands and the consumers!

For food industry as a whole, the success of your business ultimately depends on the quality of your products and the safety of your customers.Your food products and metal are two different worlds, so we use metal detector to separate them apart!

There are mainly three groups of metallic contaminant that the food metal detector can detect:

1) Ferrous: both magnetic and conductive , easy to detect

2) Non-Ferrous: not magnetic, but a good conductor, so relatively easy to detect

3) Stainless steel detection: usually non-magnetic and poor electrical conductor. Difficult to pick up (and also because of the wet food and with high salt content.,etc

WHY the metal contaminant in food is hard to detect ?

◆From the NATURE of the food itself:

-Some food, especially wet products creating product signal that affect the metal detector functioning.This is particular in fresher meat and whole meats.

-Some protein products with high salt or high iron content, which also will affect sensitivity of the metal detector

-When the product with water, slimy and difficult to handle well

-The variation of size, shape, condition in food

◆From PACKAGE Perspective:

-Variance in packaging types in different food products,usually seen are plastic, foil, Metallized film, containers and others.

-And the foil trays and metallized packaging also present as challenges for metal detection in food industry.

◆From processing ENVIIRONMENT perspective:

-Usually the food processing environments either low temperate, high temperate or wet or high care

-The machines needs to withstand the harsh processing environment, including wet cleaning

-The Hygienic requirement for food processing, cleaning, removal, and prevent the parasites and bacterial harbor. Especially prevent cross contaminant from happening.

WHAT CAN A FOOD METAL DETECTOR DO?

Food metal detectors can detect traces of metal that may have contaminated goods during the production process.

For example, because most food processing equipment is made of metal, fragments of this material can be unintentionally introduced to the products, posing a hazard to consumers, such as loose screws and bolts, machine parts, metal tags, screen wire, blades and more. 

Metal contaminants can not only cause serious harm to consumers but lead to severe legal consequences for the manufacturer. Metal particles and fragments can also damage production and packaging machinery, which may be expensive and time-consuming to repair.

WHAT A GOOD METAL DETECTOR MEANS？

◆Maximum Detection Precision-High frequency detection of metal contaminants including ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel

◆Flexible-Suitable for bulk powders, regular and irregular shaped particles and loose products 

◆Accurate and Efficient-Minimizes waste while ensuring contaminant rejection; incorporates advanced magnetic field elimination technology

◆Fits in Narrow Spaces- Compact design for integrated existing production line

◆Reliable-Solid mechanical design can survive even in harsh food processing environments
