How metal detection ensures safety, purity of meat products
Haspel conducted tests with devices from different manufacturers to compare the performance of the new multi-simultaneous-frequency technology.
Fleischmanufaktur Haspel e.K., Germany, maintains over 25 years of experience in purchasing, processing and selling meat. The company employs more than 200 people, upholds national and international quality standards such as the QS seal and IFS and relies on quality and innovative technology.
However, its wide range of fresh and frozen pork and beef meat as well as meat preparations in various packaging variants, from 200 grams to 6 kilograms, require metal detection with top technology. An outgoing goods inspection of up to 130 tons of meat and meat preparations processed every day is necessary.
Haspel conducted tests with devices from different manufacturers to compare the performance of the new multi-simultaneous-frequency technology.
Then, it selected the UNICON+ conveyor belt system from Sesotec, Germany, with integrated metal detector INTUITY ensures stability and hygiene with maximum metal detection performance and easy operation. The multi-simultaneous-frequency technology allows Haspel to inspect products from three different packaging lines with the same metal detector.
“Fast changing of different programs via external control our own management system represents a very important and useful function for us due to the already mentioned three packaging lines," says Florian Stadelmann, production manager of Haspel Fleischmanufaktur.
In multi-simultaneous-frequency technology, two frequencies between 0-900 Kilohertz work in parallel. The selection of the two frequencies that best suit the product takes place during the learning process. Afterwards, INTUITY simultaneously uses these two frequencies to achieve the best metal detection results.
The customer‘s goal is to inspect the most diverse meat products and packaging sizes with the best possible sensitivities. Sesotec’s systems provide impeccable and stable operation without rejection faults and the best sensitivity to stainless steel.
