Food Metal Detector: Application in Food Production

1.Production process testing

Food metal detectors play a vital role in all aspects of food production. In the raw material detection stage, it can promptly detect metal foreign bodies mixed in, such as metal labels and syringe needles in meat products, metal wires in wheat, etc. According to statistics, about [X]% of raw materials may be contaminated by metal foreign bodies, and metal detectors can effectively exclude these potential risks, prevent them from damaging production equipment, and ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processes.

For finished product inspection, metal detectors are even more indispensable. It can detect metal foreign bodies such as screws and nuts, tool fragments, staples, etc. that may be mixed in during the production process. Taking the baking industry as an example, after the small cakes are packaged, the accuracy of the selected metal detector can reach 0.8mm for iron and 2.0mm for stainless steel, which effectively guarantees the quality of the product. At the same time, for the inspection of intermediate processed products, problems can also be discovered in time to prevent defective products from flowing into the next link, thereby improving overall production efficiency and product quality.

2.Restaurant and supermarket testing

In restaurants and supermarkets, food metal detectors also play an important role. They can detect food, prevent some illegal merchants from adulterating metal impurities, and protect the health and safety of consumers. As people's attention to food safety continues to increase, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the quality of food provided by restaurants and supermarkets.

According to a survey, about [X]% of consumers will consider whether they use food metal detectors and other detection equipment when choosing restaurants and supermarkets. By using metal detectors in these places, metal impurities in food can be effectively detected, such as coins, keys, jewelry and other metal foreign bodies that may be brought in by human factors. This can not only enhance consumers' trust in restaurants and supermarkets, but also establish a good image for enterprises and improve market competitiveness.

In short, food metal detectors are widely used in food production, whether in the production link or in restaurants, supermarkets and other places, they can provide strong protection for food safety.

 Precautions for use and maintenance procedures

  1.Key points for safe operation

Before using the food metal detector, a comprehensive inspection must be carried out. First, check whether the appearance and components are intact, including whether the adjustment knob is flexible, whether the base is stable, whether the probe is complete, and whether the alarm light is on normally. If there is any problem, report it to the maintenance unit immediately for inspection or replacement.

In terms of parameter setting, the appropriate working procedures and parameters should be selected according to actual needs. When using, it must be operated strictly in accordance with the equipment operating instructions, and pay attention to prevent operating errors.

Safety protection is also crucial. Do not place flammable items near the equipment, do not smoke around the equipment, and do not wear gloves or ornaments when operating. In addition, the sensors used for detection should avoid collision and friction, such as cooperating with the metrology certification department to do a good job in the detection and management of raw materials, and use metal detection equipment to enhance the detection of food.

   2.Maintenance methods

The maintenance of food metal detectors is essential for their performance and service life.

First of all, they should be cleaned and disinfected regularly, and water or other liquids should be avoided. To keep the probe highly sensitive, please clean the conveyor belt and probe thoroughly every day to prevent metal fragments from adhering to the conveyor belt.

To prevent the detector from being disturbed by the magnetic field, it should be avoided to be placed in places with strong magnetic fields for a long time. Food metal detectors should avoid contact with hard objects or impact. When using, suitable carbon fiber should be used to avoid collision with the fuselage. Choose a suitable storage location to reduce damage to the equipment itself and prevent the metal contact part from rubbing against other metal materials.

After use, the food metal detector must be turned off and the power turned off in time, and stored in a dry and ventilated place to prevent it from getting wet. The detected metal impurities must be handled in time to avoid affecting the test results of other raw materials. At the same time, the metal impurities need to be counted and analyzed to improve the problems in the food production and management process.

The maintenance and maintenance of food metal detectors requires professionals, and routine inspections or daily maintenance can be performed by operators. Regular inspection and maintenance of food metal detectors requires professional maintenance personnel.
