No Compromise on Product Safety

From Field to Packaging – Nothing Goes Undetected

Raw materials such as nuts, raisins, lentils, beans and chickpeas purchased from global sources are clean when they arrive from the field but have not been inspected for foreign body contamination. Usually, agricultural companies do not check if their product is free from foreign bodies such as metal, or stones. The contract packer is generally responsible for this task and it's in their interest to do so. They must ensure that consumers do not receive contaminated products that could be a risk to health.

Since its start-up six years ago, the company has relied on equipment from METTLER TOLEDO. The company runs a total of four production lines. Three of the lines operate with the latest-generation dynamic checkweigher and metal detection combination systems. Following a search for reliable equipment, the solutions from METTLER TOLEDO were chosen as these fitted the line layout perfectly. The fourth line is operated especially to monitor dried vegetables. This meant that it was necessary to rely on a combined checkweigher and X-ray inspection system.
