Sorter solves granular material feed problems
The new Spektrum G optical sorter from S+S Inspection solves the problems of feeding granular and pellet material by replacing the conventional feed chute or conveyor with a free-fall system
To maintain its reputation for reliable, high quality products, Panesar has invested in metal detection equipment from S+S Inspection for both in-production and end of line product inspection to ensure compliance with HACCP.
All sauces and pastes are checked for metal contamination using an S+S Liquiscan in-line metal detector between the production area and the filling line where two S+S conveyor based units are used at the end of the filling line as a final check before capping.
This approach ensures that there is no possibility of any metal contaminated product leaving the factory.
According to Operations Director, Jas Panesar, an important feature of S+S equipment is the simplicity of set-up and use, especially the "Auto Teach" facility that allows even the least experienced to set-up the detection system quickly and reliably.
As with any production equipment, reliability and service are important factors in maintaining both a good quality reputation and high productivity.
"We upgraded to S+S metal detectors five years ago and have been impressed with the reliability and ease of use," Says Jas Panesar, "not to mention the very good technical service when something does go wrong. Request a free brochure from S+S Inspection ...
Later this year, we will be adding a further 3,000 square metres of production space and will be installing S+S metal detectors on the new production lines.".
