Understanding Challenging Applications for Improved Metal Detection white paper

 

Understanding Challenging Applications for Improved Metal Detection

In the food industry, certain products can act like metal contaminants, a phenomenon known as ‘product effect.’ This is where the type of product being inspected can hinder the ability of inspection technology to correctly identify metal. At best this can lead to unacceptable false reject levels, at worst it can result in metal contaminated product leaving the production facility.

From Farm to Fork, The Right Response at the Right Time

There is an increasing awareness of and demand for Campylobacter testing in food. To protect consumers from this public health threat, regulations and policies are being implemented to shift the focus from contamination response to prevention. Rapid immunodetection of Campylobacter enables earlier detection of contamination at poultry farms and processing plants.

Using Quality Tools and Metrics for Comparison of Error Potential in E. Coli Testing Methods

The food industry has made significant strides in increasing the quality and safety of the food supply. Food companies often utilize rapid pathogen detection methods to evaluate the effectiveness of their food quality and safety programs. Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), a systematic technique for failure analysis, was performed on several E.Coli detection methods to determine the number of process steps and the risk priority number (RPN) of each method. This FMEA analysis indicated that decreasing required process steps and sample touches during pathogen detection analysis results in a lower RPN. Download the full white paper analysis today.

Improving Food Safety Inspection of Pumped Products White Paper

 

Improving Food Safety Inspection of Pumped Products

The white paper entitled ‘Improving Food Safety Inspection of Pumped Products’ begins with an introduction to metal detection and x-ray pipeline inspection, including an explanation of how both technologies work and their differing contamination detection capabilities. The paper then goes on to discuss factors affecting the sensitivity of product inspection equipment on pumped food lines.

Understanding Food Label Regulations White Paper

 

Understanding Food Label Regulations

This white paper examines the impact of the recent BRC Food Safety Issue 7 changes on global legislation standards and regulations in respect of the statutory information displayed on packaging and labels. It details all relevant labeling information a manufacturer needs to know to minimize the threat of product recalls and potential end customer serious health issues cause by mislabeling.

Improve OEE White Paper

 

Improve OEE With Inline Metal Detection

To remain competitive, you must continuously look for new ways to improve the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of your production line. In addition, governmental regulations require the use of product inspection technology to protect consumers. These two concepts don't have to oppose each other – it's a mistake to think product inspection will lower your OEE. A properly configured, well managed and validated system is your ally in the fight to improve OEE.

Mesh Gloves 101

Image depictions of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table draped in chain mail garments and gloves. It was then that the concept of metal mesh gloves was born - in the Middle Ages when European knights wore gloves made of chain mail to protect them from puncture of the swords and lances used in jousts and battles.

GFSI Reaches Beyond Food Processors

A survey of food safety authorities at food companies shows broad support for more stringent safety programs, at both the plant and on suppliers' premises. While the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) means more rigorous and lengthy food-plant inspections by third-party auditors and potential demands on their suppliers, manufacturing professionals believe GFSI will help raise U.S. food safety standards and provide greater assurance to customers.

Traceability and Food Safety: Go for the Record

Consumers now demand more information on the quality, origin and handling of the food they eat. On one hand, news of recalls and exposure of unsafe practices has made consumers wary. On the other hand, food choices make lifestyle statements and represent ethical stances such as “keeping kosher,” humane treatment for animals or vegetarianism. Traceability keeps many food company executives awake at night, yet most companies are not willing to invest heavily in traceability until they have a problem.

Economic Justification for Implementing an Automated Laundering System for Multi-Use Synthetic Garments

An automated laundering system has been developed to clean and sanitize multi-usesynthetic garments composed of PolyConversions, Inc. VR™. An extensive evaluation of an automated washing and drying process with VR™ garments has demonstrated that an automated laundering program can provide the poultry and meat processing industries with a process that can assure consistent and quality performance in cleaning and sanitizing multi-use VR™ garments.

HACCP Considerations in Cleaning and Sanitizing Multi-Use Synthetic Garments

Protective apparel comprised of synthetic fabrics is used widely in the food processing industry. Although the lighter weight polyethylene aprons are designed for single use, some synthetic garments having a more durable composition are used multiple times before discarding.

Certification to the Global Food Safety Standards

Historically, suppliers have been subjected to multiple types of Food Safety audits to meet the expectations of multiple customers. The Food industry is now experiencing a significant shift away from “audits” to more comprehensive certification programs for continuous improvement in food safety management and to ensure confidence in the delivery of safe food to consumers.
