High Performance Metal-Detection System
S+S Inspection Inc. designed the new Sanicon system for the domestic food industry to detect magnetic and non-magnetic metallic contamination, whether or not it is enclosed within the packed product. This system can be easily integrated with existing production lines as it has the smallest possible metal-free zone, and the open aperture and easy disassembly design allow for maximum hygiene and improved productivity. A range of coil aperture sizes and belt widths make this product IFS and HACCP compliant, and all configurations can be fitted with a wide variety of separation systems to match specific operational requirements.
