Contaminants can easily make their way into production during grain processing at grain mills, which can have serious consequences, including poor product quality and a tarnished reputation due to recalls. Sesotec machinery and systems provide the remedy to these concerns with fully automatic product inspection using state-of-the-art technology.
For decades, Sesotec has specialised in industrial contaminant detection. Our metal detectors and X-ray systems reliably remove undesirable substances from the grain milling process for consistently high quality.
Why is product inspection important with regard to grain mill products?
Grain mills process grain, which form a key part of people’s diets. Grain mills aim not to waste any resources and seek to make production as efficient as possible. Product inspection systems increase food safety and ensure top quality in the production process of grain products (e.g. flour, semolina, wholemeal, flakes and bran), legumes and nuts.
What purpose do Sesotec product inspection systems serve?
The inspection of spelt, barley, oats, millet, rice and other grain mill products target contaminants. Our machines can be tailored to a wide range of needs. That way, only products of the very highest quality leave your company.Looking for more information or advice? Contact us
What kinds of contamination and quality issues could occur?
Potential contamination and quality issues with regard to grain and
grain products can occur during harvest or processing (e.g. transport in
storage). However, carelessness by operating staff can also result in
contamination.
What grains and grain products are inspected ?
Our contaminant detection systems are used for a wide range of applications. Here are some examples that can be inspected:
What kinds of technology are used in Sesotec systems?
Sesotec possesses sound expertise across a wide range of technology. The various fields are linked in such way that it is possible to turn modular designs into versatile, application-specific solutions in a cost-effective manner.
Our White Paper informs you about the criteria that
need to be considered when you choose machines and systems for the
protection against contaminants and for metal detection.
Our White Paper describes the development of technologies in
contaminant detection in the food industry.
In this White Paper we show you the key benefits and
diverse application possibilities of x-ray technology and how these systems help
you to ensure your product quality.
With our booklet
about X-ray inspection of food products we give you an overview of x-ray
inspection in general, important food standards and Sesotec's
solutions.
In our e-book we show you, amongst others, what challenges the development of the world's population and especially food safety pose for manufacturers and processors and how they can still be mastered.
This
Whitepaper outlines the legal requirements for food safety in some
of the world’s major markets and compares them with the most common standards.
This information is meant to help food industry companies choose the best
standard for their business.
Despite the breadth of technology available for foreign object detection, certain types of food products remain difficult to inspect via conventional methods. The reason for this is that some foods have high levels of product effect, which can interfere with metal detection. This white paper examines the phenomenon of product effect, the problems it can cause, and why artificial intelligence offers an innovative and promising solution.
This guide is intended to help quality managers and production managers in food processing companies to generate a common understanding regarding validation and verification processes in their own organization and to implement appropriate procedures.

As the world population grows and global living standards rise, the food industry is confronted with a number of challenges and opportunities, especially in the area of Food Safety. This e-book is meant to offer a comprehensive overview of the varying and influential factors shaping the future of food manufacturing and processing.
In the first part of our e-book article series "Food Safety", we looked at the factors that play an important role in the food industry from different perspectives. In the second part of the article series, we will discuss what support is available for the effective implementation of various food safety measures.
We explain the path from preventive to predictive maintenance and how this will make your production more efficient in the white paper "Future-proof: The path from preventive to predictive maintenance in the food industry”.
Pneumatic conveying is common within the milling industry to move large volumes of products. This firm was looking for a metal detection solution to provide enhancements to their food safety initiatives (GFSI) within the challenge of pneumatically conveying the finished product to bulk carriers.
Founded in 1890, the Josef Manner & Comp. AG is the number one specialist for wafers, dragées,
and marshmallow products
in Austria.
As a leading
manufacturer of product
inspection technology, Sesotec supplied Manner with three RAYCON x-ray systems to help them renew their IFS certification in 2019. The solution was a success:
their IFS certificate was renewed and both production
sites continue to operate at the highest level of accreditation.
For more than 335 years and 14 generations, Rubinmühle has been managed by the Rubin family.
Customers in Europe and beyond benefit from their reliable and flexible supply of innovative, high-quality grain products.
As quality requirements have become
more stringent over time,
Rubinmühle
commenced a search for a solution that could
inspect grain flakes with the best possible detection rates.
Among the favorite products of Tunacor Fishing Ltd are their fish sausages, which are especially celebrated in Spain. However, every now and then they would receive complaints from customers about bits of metal in the sausages.
Many customers face the problem of lacking the knowledge of which setting parameters can cause a significant change in product safety and process relevance. A validation process can aid these customers to overcome this challenge and take a successful path towards compliance with food safety standards. Such as process can also be used as a service.

Schwaben processes 410 million kilograms of milk and whey each year.
Metal
detection must be installed at various checkpoints to control for the quality
of dairy products. Butter and rice pudding, for example, are transported
through pipelines prior to filling. In
order to ensure these packaged products are free of metallic contaminants,
metal detectors are used.
As a new major company with the highest quality requirements, CREMER needs a powerful and reliable metal detection system to ensure that its production facilities meet international standards and reliably produce safe products. All in the interest of food safety.
EUROVERDE‘s entire product range is the result of a quality process at the highest level. In the field of foreign matter management, EUROVERDE has been using various metal detectors for years to separate metal particles of any kind from the products.
