Across
the globe, the trend towards discerning customers who demand top-quality food
is growing. For manufacturers of nuts, dried vegetables and dried fruit, it is
essential to detect and eliminate contaminants.
Thanks to a wide range of different detection technologies, our systems can
efficiently and reliably live up to this task.
For decades, Sesotec has specialised in systems for industrial contaminant detection. We provide a technologically perfected range
of metal detectors and X-ray systems for the
reliable detection and automatic removal of contaminants. Our machines and systems of course comply
with the special hygienic requirements of the food industry and meet the
prescribed standards for audits.
Rising incomes and changing eating habits are creating ever-higher demand for quality among consumers. Accordingly, the demands placed by increasingly globalised food brands and retailers on suppliers are growing as well. As a result, quality issues and contaminants pose an increasing risk to a company’s sales and reputation. The only way to counteract these concerns effectively and efficiently is with assistance from automatic product inspection systems.

The following are examples of contaminants that could enter the products during harvest, transport to storage, subsequent processing steps or through careless staff:
Our contaminant detection systems are used for a wide range of applications, such as for sorting the following:
Nuts, dried vegetables and dried fruit can be inspected loose as bulk
goods. For this particular application, Sesotec offers what are known as
free-fall metal detectors. Fed in through pipes, the products undergo inspection
and the systems reliably separate out metal contaminants from the bulk goods
through reject flaps. Metal detectors are also used with conveyor belts, in
addition to X-ray inspection machines in particular for already packaged
products. As part of the final check, products are inspected for metal and
other contaminants to ensure optimum quality before being shipped out.
Thanks to our many years of experience with materials sorting and
contaminant detection, we cover the entire range of technology with proficiency
and professionalism. Based on our modular designs, we can find a tailored,
economical solution for your particular need. Simply contact us − we would be
happy to advise you!
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”.
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.
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.
Milchwerke
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.
