Mettler-Toledo has introduced metal detectors for hazardous locations (HazLoc), ideal for dusty manufacturing environments such as for free-falling powders, grains, and granules.
The recently upgraded Fortress Stealth Gravity metal detectors overcome several pitfalls of other metal detectors that are used in dry-product, free-falling food processing plants.
Eriez Product Manager Metal Detection Ray Spurgeon has announced that 6 and 18-inch belt sizes are now available for the Xtreme Metal Detector Conveyor Systems with Automatic Rejects.
Detection of foreign objects such as metals is a high priority for food processors, especially when in 2019 alone the United States Department of Agriculture reported that 17 million pounds of food were impacted by recalls due to “extraneous material.”
A new technology dramatically reduces product effect and minimizes false rejects, thus reducing the risk that clean product will be rejected and wasted, and preventing contaminated products from reaching the market.
