e q u i P m e n t : m e ta l d e t e c t i o n & i n s P e c t i o n In the pipeline HDS (stands for heavy-duty sausage) Pipeline metal detector is sensitive to all metal types for the sausage industry. It’s designed for full integration with leading vacuum filler machines and other process equipment. A single vertical gas strut makes the height of the detector head easy to adjust, and large castors provide maximum mobility. The vendor’s patented ICF (internal cancellation field) technology allows for a shorter throughput pipe, which reduces product creaming and also results in a compact system that easily fits in restricted spaces. It has a color touchscreen interface, Ethernet connectivity and stainless steel finish and is sealed to IP69K standards. Mettler-Toledo Safeline; Tampa, Fla. 800-447-4439; www.mt.com/safelineus a 2m-wide scan area that dramatically increases throughput within a space-saving footprint. Handling up to 27 metric tons (60,000 lbs.) of processed vegetables or fruit per hour, its high-resolution scanning detects and removes the smallest defects and foreign material. In addition to processed vegetables and fruit, it is being developed for other food industry applications. Key Technology Inc.; Walla Walla,Wash. 509-529-2161; www.key.net ▼▲Part of your HACCP plan The Phantom line of metal detector systems with powerful digital signal processing provides faster, more accurate detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel, in food processing and packaging operations. The userfriendly metal detectors are exceptionally rugged and available in a range of unique models and configurations for a variety of applications. The option of data logging software with wireless connectivity enables communication with a PC to make your metal detector a critical control point in HACCP programs. Fortress Technology Inc. Toronto; 888-220-8737 www.fortresstechnology.com ▲▲Choose your frequency Recommended for use on multi-product lines or for products having different conductivity characteristics, CEIA THS/3F metal detectors quickly detect and remove all metal contaminants without slowing product flow or wasting excess product. They use three frequencies to automatically select the optimal detection frequency based on product characteristics. Fully HACCP compliant and easy to clean and inspect, models are available for standard washdown or with an IP69K rating for high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. Ethernet capability is available for centralized data acquisition and control. Heat and Control Inc.; Hayward, Calif. 800-227-5980; www.heatandcontrol.com ▼▲High-performance sorter Designed for versatility and superior sanitation, Manta is an innovative new sorter that increases production capacity while maximizing product quality and food safety. This state-of-the-art, highvolume, high-performance sorter features 64 • Food Processing June 2008 ▲▲Lower false rejects The PowerX line of high-performance X-ray systems for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries consists of 16 industryleading models, which collectively are capable of inspecting products ranging from small pharmaceutical glass vials to large, multi-package cases. These systems use highresolution detectors and sophisticated image analysis software to achieve the highest sensitivity and lowest false reject rates possible. Unique Virtual Contaminant Testing software is available to simulate various types, sizes and positions of contaminants to quickly determine how to achieve the best performance in each application. Thermo-Fisher Scientific Inc.; Waltham, Mass. 800-227-8891; www.thermo.com Two-frequency technology DuW (dual wave) Series metal detectors provide enhanced food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic inspection accuracy. The simultaneous two-frequency magnetic field-detecting technology increases overall detection of metal contaminants with a significant improvement in stainless detection in most applications versus traditional single wave inspection technology. Other advanced features of the series include an automatic set-up wizard for easy and accurate product set-up with minimal training, 30-second/no-tool conveyor disassembly for easy cleaning and a simple design that results in easy maintenance. Anritsu Industrial Solutions Buffalo Grove, Ill.; 847-419-9729 www.detectionperfection.com Visual inspection SensorView 350 is a compact, industrial, panel-mount display for the Checker 200 Series of inspection sensors that allows operators to view production images of the parts being inspected without a PC. The viewer features a simple interface for displaying images of passed or failed parts – or packages – along with status indicators and results statistics to monitor the production process.
