Safe food and saving food
Safe food and saving food
As the global demand for food rises, so do the responsibilities of the food industry. Safe and efficient food production practices are crucial to the health of both humanity and the planet.
Our intelligent technologies and services help food industry companies profitably manufacture safe products and reduce food waste.
Compliant. Sustainable. Efficient.
Consumers
expect safe, high-quality food. Most retail chains require their suppliers to
have relevant certification. One key factor is the detection and removal of
metals and contaminants and preventing quality issues – the very tasks our
systems are designed to handle.
Food meant for human consumption has to be pure and cannot pose a health risk. This is one of the key requirements in the food industry. At the same time, contamination resulting from impurities during production can never be entirely ruled out. Machine wear and personal items belonging to staff are just two possible sources.
Machine protection: Pieces of metal in particular can damage processing machines. Contaminant detectors prevent machine breakdowns, production downtime and costly repairs.
Greater sales: Consumers are less and less willing to accept blemishes in a product’s appearance and the unintended addition or presence of other foods. As a result, separating out those products affected in this way can increase sales.Here at Sesotec, our specialty is contaminant detection on an industrial scale. We have been pursuing this focus for decades. In terms of versatility and quality, there is little that can compare to our range of products. We supply systems from a single source for all process steps, product types and kinds of conveyance, as well as for all critical checkpoints in the production process.

Unser White Paper beschreibt einige der Herausforderungen, die sich
in der Fleischindustrie hinsichtlich der Produktreinheit und -sicherheit
ergeben und erklärt die verfügbaren Technologien, die für die Detektion
von Fremdkörpern zur Verfügung stehen.
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.
Almi, an Austrian company headquartered near Linz, and one of the
leading manufacturers of quality flavourings and additives for sausage,
meat, ham and fish products, uses Sesotec “Hygienic Design” metal
detectors throughout their entire production process.
The „Alte Gewürzamt“ produces 120 tons spices and spice mixtures per year on 4.000 square meters. The HACCP analysis revealed an increased risk of contamination with metal, stones and glass. An inspection at the outgoing goods was therefore required to meet the quality standards.
Pneumatic conveying is common within the milling industry to move large volumes of products. This firm was looking for a metal detection solution to provide enhancements to their food safety initiatives (GFSI) within the challenge of pneumatically conveying the finished product to bulk carriers.
The Backwelt Pilz produces pre-baked and pre-cooked deep-frozen baked goods, for the food retail trade, petrol station shops and system gastronomy. In order to ensure that bread and rolls are absolutely free of foreign bodies, the Backwelt Pilz decided, in addition to the existing metal detectors, also to install RAYCON D+ X-ray inspection equipment for packaged products.
When this customer looked for a metal detector, he expected this system to remove metallic contaminations from dry spices inspected in pneumatic pipes without causing any interruptions of the production process.
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.
Founded in the 1960s, H. Loidl Sausage Producers and Distributors GmbH & Co KG attributes their rapid growth to the high quality of their salami products. Once ripe, some Loidl salami products are packaged in slices. This requires
removing the casing and the aluminum clips by hand. In some cases, residue from the aluminum clips remains on the salami. The standard metal detection solutions Loidl had used up un til that point were not sensitive enough to reliably detect the metal contaminants. So Loidl turned to Sesotec in search of a solution for detecting and automatically rejecting metal contaminants from salami sticks.
For more than 335 years and 14 generations, Rubinmühle has been managed by the Rubin family.
Customers in Europe and beyond benefit from their reliable and flexible supply of innovative, high-quality grain products.
As quality requirements have become
more stringent over time,
Rubinmühle
commenced a search for a solution that could
inspect grain flakes with the best possible detection rates.
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.
FF Frischfleisch AG was searching for a way to fully trace 100% of products subject to complaints.
In cooperation with Kundert, the Swiss sales partner, Sesotec was able to develop a solution to this challenge onsite.
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.
