METAL DETECTOR

IQ-CHECK TEST KITS

Mettler Toledo's heavy-duty sausage
(HDS) pipeline metal detector
offers unparalleled in-process
metal detection for vacuum filler
applications. The easy-to-use key
panel, mobile hygienic design
and wide range of additional optional features make
this unit the ideal solution to meet sausage inspection
requirements. Integration with other elements in the
manufacturing process is an essential requirement for any
sausage product inspection system. The rugged, mobile,
compact HDS system is designed for close integration
with leading vacuum fillers and other sausage processing
equipment for easy incorporation into a production line.

Bio-Rad Laboratories
announced that AOAC
International has evaluated
and approved the level 3
modification of the iQ-Check E. coli O157:H7 and iQCheck STEC VirX and SerO real-time PCR detection
kits to extend these kits to different types of samples.
To obtain this approval through the AOAC Performance
Tested Methods Program, a validation study was
performed that demonstrated no differences between
the iQ-Check methods and the reference methods.
The iQ-Check E. coli O157:H7 assay was modified to
include 375-g test portions of raw ground beef (83
percent lean), raw beef trim and fresh spinach.

SANITARY DRUM MOTOR

Nutec Manufacturing offers
the 760 Rotary Vane Pump
Feed System, which provides
accurate weights, minimum
leakage and rapid changeover
while processing the toughest, hard to form products. The
system gently portions up to 7,000 lbs. of product per hour
with minimal product working. A rotating spiral gently
moves product toward the rotor. The Vane Pump feeds
directly to the mold plate cavity without product backflow
or bridging. With a 26-in. usable mold plate width, the 760
uses a variety of mold plate materials to run beef, pork,
poultry, fish, veal, lamb or vegetables. Custom mold plates
can be designed to any specifications.

The VDG (Van der
Graaf) all-316 stainless
steel SSV Sanitary drum motor has the belt profile
machined directly onto the drum to drive modular,
wire mesh and monolithic thermoplastic conveyor
belts without the use of sprockets, eliminating crevices
where food by-products become trapped and bacteria
can harbor. The maintenance-free drum motor design
has all drive components enclosed inside the drum,
increasing efficiency, and operator safety. It also features
an IP69K sealing system and withstands washdown
pressure up to 3,000 psi. The new VDG lntelliDrive with
permanent magnet motor technology and a variable
frequency drive integrated inside the motor junction box,
provides conveyor drive data feedback and simplifies
belt speed selection without loss of torque or belt-pull.
