FOOD SAFETY
" Any potential foreign material
issue that gets you on Facebook
or Instagram or anything else like
that, that's worse than a recall
almost now, because that just
catches fire and travels so quickly, "
Kyle Luker, FlexXray
Those characteristics have to be taken into account while
metal detectors are being set up to deal with specific products
at a processing plant. Slauson said a metal detector has to
learn the signal generated by a product, so it can recognize it
and dismiss it while it is looking for various types of signals
that are being picked up.
Challenges may arise in the detection process because of a
product's ingredients, he added.
" You can have small changes - in fractions of a percent
different - in certain ingredients from one batch to another
and the metal detector sees it very differently. It may look and
taste the same to us, but for the metal detector it's a different
ballgame, " Slauson said.
In those instances, he said the machine would need
to be retaught, resetting that product for the metal
detection process.
" And with dairy you can have tons of different products
to manufacture - different types of cheeses, or milks, butters,
and that can be in different sizes, different volumes, shapes, "
he said of other potential detection obstacles. " All of that
comes into play and has an effect and has to be set up or
known before going into it. "
Fortunately for dairy processors, technology
advancements through the years keep making it easier for a
machine to gather information on the product it is inspecting
and detect its signal. That has translated to less setup time
for companies using metal detection, as well as fewer passes
needed to put a product through the detector so it can learn
its signals.
One of the other benefits of modern detection options,
Slauson added, is the machine's ability to record and track
every event imaginable, form changes in settings, log-ins and
passwords, to data a company needs to track.
" You're no longer having to use a clipboard, paper and
pencil to note down your activities with the metal detector, "
he said. " It's all done internally and is easily moved over to
something like a spreadsheet of data software. "
The newest metal detectors also are much easier to
