“From start to finish” food safety testing

“People are eating for the sky”, the health and safety of the food industry has always received a lot of attention, and coincides with the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games, China's food market will encounter unprecedented opportunities and challenges. In order to bring more high-quality products to consumers, most large Chinese food manufacturers have been equipped with food metal detectors or foreign body detectors, but most of them are still for finished product testing or raw material testing. The German S+S Group has its own philosophy in the field of food testing – “from beginning to end” food testing. Only when the inspection is strictly carried out in each production process can the food of the factory be safe and reliable, and the waste caused by the elimination of a large number of non-conforming products during the inspection of the finished product can be avoided. Improve the economic efficiency of production and maintain long-term trust of consumers.

Metal detection before production:

Powdered raw materials and additive metal separator

Judging from the results of China's food inspections in the past two years, food additives have become an important factor in product failure. In the production process of additives, metal impurities are often mixed into the product due to wear and tear of equipment such as grinding, artificial negligence, etc., which brings great harm to the safety of the additive and greatly affects the reputation of the manufacturer. Therefore, companies often use metal testing equipment to test products to improve product purity and ensure product quality. In the food production process, pure additives can guarantee the safety of the final product from the source.


Raycon with multiple functions can make the last inspection of good food before leaving the factory.

The Rapid 5000 is a metal detection device that combines inspection and separation. It is made of stainless steel, compact structure and special rejector. It is especially suitable for the detection of powdery bulk materials before packaging, such as food additives and seasonings. It mainly has the following features:

â—† Self-learning function, compressible product effect: For some product-effect additives, metal detection must compress their product effects, and S+S products can be self-learning to compress product effects, which is convenient and flexible.

â—† Quad-band technology: You can choose one of the most suitable frequencies to meet the testing requirements for specific products. For powders without product effect, such as garlic powder, the maximum detection sensitivity can be obtained by selecting high frequency. However, for powders with product effects such as salt or sugar, the effect of product effect can be reduced by selecting medium or low frequency to obtain the best detection effect.

â—† The reject plate with sealed seal can ensure the metal can be quickly removed by Quick Flap System, which can minimize material loss: give full play to the advantage of fast response of pneumatic mechanism, and the rejection time is only 0.05 seconds, which ensures the reliability of detection. , greatly reduced material loss.

â—† With product storage function, it can store 200 kinds of product data: each product data can be pre-set and stored, and when the product batch changes, just switch to the corresponding product data. In addition, for some special requirements, such as manual product switching, automatic product parameter switching can be performed through the serial port of the machine.

â—† 1000 event recording functions, which can record the most recent 1000 event records, including parameter setting, metal pollution signal generation, product data switching and other data, fully meet the requirements of ISO9000, and facilitate the quality control of enterprises.

â—† Insight data processing software: This software can be used to connect the metal detector to the PC. Each software can connect up to 16 machines at the same time. At the same time, the metal detector can be connected to the Internet via this software for remote fault diagnosis and Re-line software version update.

â—† Anti-static detection tube: For some applications that may cause static electricity accumulation on the detection tube due to material friction, antistatic coating can be applied on the inner wall of the detection tube to prevent static electricity accumulation from affecting the detection effect.

â—† The device is also compliant with IFS and HACCP certification.

"From the results of China's food inspection in the past two years, food additives have become an important factor in product non-conformity. Therefore, companies should use metal testing equipment to test products, improve product purity and ensure product quality. In the food production process Pure additives can guarantee the safety of the final product from the source."

Metal detection in production:

Metal separator for liquid or paste materials

The use of metal detection in production can prevent food contamination caused by equipment aging or operational errors during production. LiquiScan can be used to detect liquid or paste materials pumped before filling, such as sauces, meat sauces, gels, etc.

The equipment can detect and separate various metals (such as iron, stainless steel, copper, etc.) from the material. The special pneumatic arc valve is suitable for liquid and paste removal; and the pneumatic ball valve is optional, suitable for granular materials. Paste application (eg jam with fruit, sausage sauce, etc.). The Genius controller is easy to operate and the self-learning feature effectively compresses product effects. LiquiScan is made of AISI304 stainless steel as a whole, which is easy to clean and meets IFS and HACCP food certification requirements.

Foreign object detection in finished products: X-ray inspection system

The final test before the packaged food leaves the factory, can make the final seal of the good food before leaving the factory to avoid contamination of the food during packaging. Raycon can not only detect foreign materials such as metal, glass, bones, stones, etc. in the finished package; it can detect product defects such as bubbles and breakage, and can also calculate product weight and identify missing products. Raycon, with its many functions, can shut down the last inspection of good food before leaving the factory.

The device can detect a variety of impurities in various (aluminum film) packaging products, and can shield the product from foreign objects (such as the aluminum ring of sausage); at the same time, it can also identify various product defects, such as product shortage, lack of products , agglomeration, deformation, etc. Its high-performance, long-life high-voltage power X-ray tube guarantees high-precision detection for 7-10 years; the special X-ray source and sensing layout ensure that there is no dead angle detection. The real-time operating system and cutting-edge image processing software enable Raycon to quickly set up through self-learning and simultaneously test both products in parallel.

The detection of metal and foreign matter in food is still a new industry in China, and the development of the industry has a long way to go. Advanced testing technology not only makes food and beverage products safe and reliable, but also allows the world to truly give the word "quality" to China's food manufacturing industry.
