Checking crumbs are contamination-free
January 1st 2009 A leading European
manufacturer of breadcrumbs,
croutons and flour-based
soup ingredients, Gebrüder
Leimer based in Upper
Bavaria, believes its success
comes from putting quality
assurance at the top of the
management agenda, with
samples being taken at
regular intervals for
laboratory analysis.
Fully automated highspeed
production lines
supply carton and bag filling
and sealing machines
connected by continuous
vacuum tube conveyors.
S+S Inspection GF-4000
metal detector/separators are
installed in the vacuum
conveyors to ensure that any
magnetic or non-magnetic
contamination is removed
before the product is packed.
The metal detectors are
mounted vertically. Detected
contamination is removed
from the conveyor by the
Quick Flap system to
minimise the loss of good
product. The system is
controlled by an S+S Genius
multi-frequency digital signal
processor mounted 5m from
the detector/separator. More articles from S+S Inspection Limited: |
