fiogf49gjkf0d Manufacturers and processing companies in the meat & poultry, dairy, bakery and ready meal segments, and those who produce products packaged in metallised film, can now achieve detection sensitivity levels previously only seen in dry product inspection by using Mettler-Toledo Safeline’s newly launched product - Profile Advantage metal detector. The company is a leading supplier of metal detection and x-ray inspection solutions for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
According to a press note released by the company, for years the ‘product effect’ (the electrical signal detected in some foods with a high moisture, salt content or packaged in metallised film) has reduced detection sensitivities significantly below the levels achieved with inspections of dry non-conductive food products. However, the new product, which uses a sophisticated inspection algorithm, removes the 'product effect' phenomenon from the process. This results in up to 50% improvements in detection sensitivity levels irrespective of packaging material, ensuring that the product finds more metal contaminants than traditional systems in challenging applications such as wet, warm or chilled food.
In addition, the solution is capable of rigorously reducing the number of false rejects. For example meat and poultry producers can typically see false rejects rates associated with 'product effect' reduced by up to 95% when trying to detect the smallest metal contaminants. The product uses multi-simultaneous frequency (MSF) technology to step-change performance.
