Glass shards can enter production through broken glass components like lights or containers. They are among the most hazardous foreign bodies, making thorough detection absolutely essential.

Stones

Stones can inadvertently enter the production process during raw material processing, such as with grains, legumes, or spices.

Plastics

Plastic parts often come from packaging, crates, or faulty machine components, posing injury risks and threatening product quality.
