What if ...?

What would happen if a food producer with a great reputation and a long history suddenly received unwanted attention—because of a product recall? How much time, money and effort would it take to repair their public image? Inspection systems for metal detection play a crucial role in the food industry. They not only ensure the quality and safety of our food, they are also indispensable for avoiding product recalls and court cases.
Reliably detect foreign metal bodies

Metal detection systems see what others don't see

A product recall can have catastrophic consequences for a company’s image—customers lose confidence in the brand, which can lead to a loss of sales. Using metal detection inspection systems allows potentially dangerous metallic foreign bodies (ferrous and non-ferrous) to be detected and eliminated before they reach the end consumer. As a result, food products of the highest quality can be guaranteed, which in turn boosts customer confidence. At Bizerba, we are not just concerned with the “image” of our partners of course—food safety and especially the safety of the end consumers is an absolute priority for us. 

Nonetheless, in addition to the human and economic aspects, the legal side plays an important role for food production companies. Legal proceedings due to food contamination can lead to steep penalties and claims for damages. If there are serious health hazards for consumers, these costs can be exorbitant. Smart inspection systems for metal detection from Bizerba minimize the risk of such contamination in your company.

Reliable safety with easy operation

No chance for metallic contamination: Metal detection systems from Bizerba

Our product line of metal detectors can be integrated 100% according to your parameters. Starting in the design phase, we pay attention to easy operation and cleaning. Among other things, there is the option for different conveyor belt widths that can be changed without tools, while variable belt speeds are already standard. Your quality assurance is thus supported smoothly, reliably and flexibly. For piece goods, packaged or unpackaged products, you can depend on the reliable detection of enclosed contaminants—whether steel, stainless steel or non-ferrous metals such as aluminum.

The following case study is a great example to show how a metal detecting inspection system is a great option to combine high throughput with a maximum reliability of avoiding food product contamination:

Worry-free inspection

Robust, precise and hygienic: Reliable inspection in peak operation

Stainless steel designs, some with an especially short metal-free zone, ensure error-free, reliable detection. Featuring flexible height setting, the systems can be seamlessly integrated into all of your production lines. You decide whether the protection class IP65 metal detectors should be equipped with a stop-on-detect (SOD) function or with a reject system. We take care of the rest, including the implementation, control and updating of the software.

More sustainable progress

Control is good—Inspection is better

We guarantee that our partners are able to deliver high-quality products, because recalls and complaints hinder the development of your food production business and keep you from achieving your goals. We think along with you, but always one step ahead. New acquisitions are generally not necessary with our systems, as we attach great importance to sustainability and future security—because we know that every euro you invest counts in competition. You as a food production company can thus plan safely and consumers can enjoy your products without hesitation. You can count on it—we stop what’s stopping you.

Your success is our business

A product recall can have disastrous consequences for your company: Inspection systems from Bizerba with metal detectors, dynamic checkweighers, x-ray or vision inspection solutions therefore give food producers a key competitive edge. Systematically minimizing potential sources of errors coupled with a higher throughput clears the way for economic development potential and creates additional planning security.
