Food Radar – Making the “Invisible” Visible

Thursday, May 15; 1:15pm - 1:45pm

Soft plastic is one of the most common food contaminants - and also one of the hardest to detect. Food Radar, a Swedish company, offers a breakthrough solution for removing foreign matter during the production of pumpable food products. Unlike traditional detection systems that rely on X-rays, magnetic fields, or cameras, the Food Radar® system uses advanced microwave technology. This enables it to detect not only dense foreign bodies but also previously undetectable contaminants such as soft plastic, hard plastic, rubber, glove materials, wood, fruit stones, and more. With a strong reference base and a proven track record in the industry, Food Radar® provides a reliable and effective solution for food manufacturers seeking the highest safety standards.
