FOREIGN BODY DETECTION

Precise Food Inspection. Pure Pleasure.

The safer and more efficient food production becomes, the better it is for people and the planet. With smart technologies and services, Sesotec helps the food industry achieve this goal. For safe and sustainable food production free from foreign bodies – and quality without compromise.

Product Inspection: Why It Matters

To eliminate foreign bodies in delivered goods, responsible food producers rely on machine product inspection. This is an integral part of every HACCP concept and a prerequisite for successful certification, such as IFS or BRC. Moreover, it protects manufacturers and brands from liability claims, recalls, and reputational damage.

Early detection and removal of metal contaminants and other foreign bodies through inspection systems prevent damage to production facilities.

Reducing waste and recalls minimizes production downtime and food waste, boosting customer trust and positively impacting your long-term revenue.

Items from operating personnel

Small objects such as parts of chainmail gloves, hairpins, or ballpoint pen tips can unintentionally enter the food during production and pose a significant risk to the consumer safety.

Metal abrasion from conveyor lines or processing machinery

Abrasion or tiny metal particles from machines and conveyors can silently infiltrate food products, posing a significant contamination risk.

Stones

Stones introduced through raw materials are a common foreign body in food processing and can significantly compromise product quality.

Glass shards

Glass shards from broken lamps or containers pose a significant threat to food safety and can lead to serious health consequences.

Bones and cartilage fragments

In meat, fish, and poultry products as natural or processing-related residues.
