Mr Creemy achieves high level BRC accreditation

Mr Creemy, makers of fine ice cream, needed a metal detector to run final checks on their ice cream cartons for metal contaminants, in particular stainless steel, to achieve a higher BRC rating

South Wales based Mr Creemy, makers of fine ice cream, approached local company Eriez Magnetics Europe to provide a metal detector to run final checks on their ice cream cartons for metal contaminants, in particular stainless steel.

An Eriez Metron 20C Metal Detector Search Head in sanitary stainless steel finish was subsequently installed on a conveyor along which ice cream cartons, tub sizes varying from 85mm to 5 litres, would pass.

Proprietor, Mr Kevin Jenkins, explained that in 2002 a major department store requested that the company gain accreditation with BRC (standards for companies supplying retailer branded food products).

For this they needed to install a metal detector in-line.

With the instalment of the Eriez metal detector Mr Creemy were able to gain a higher level BRC.

Mr Jenkins concludes "with the metal detector installed it gives us complete confidence in our finished product".
