Food Metal Detectors

Food metal detectors are used for consumer protection. The consequences for a food related packaging company that is not using metal detectors can include lawsuits, recalls and hurt their brand image.

Parts of the food processing and packaging equipment like nuts, bolts or shavings can possibly fall off an accidentally be packaged with the items.

Metal particles that enter the product during the production process can also cause serious injuries. Food X-Ray machines and metal detectors, as a result, will automatically detect and reject contaminated product from the production line. This will save you plenty of time, money and energy in the long run and in particular, the end-user: Consumers.

These detectors are ideal for the following applications:

  • Baked Goods
  • Confectionery & Snack Foods
  • Convenience Food | Food-to-Go
  • Dairy and Egg Products
  • Dried Foods, Cereals & Grains
  • Fruit, Vegetables & Nuts
  • Meat, Poultry & Fish
  • Other / General Industries

Loma food x-ray detectors will provide effective protection against metal as well as non-metal contaminants.

Textile Packaging Equipment

Autobag’s Ergocon Textile Packaging Equipment system is engineered for high speed packaging of industrial laundered applications and textile services. The laundry packaging system uses an automatic feeder. It is fully integrated with the Autobag AB 255 wide bagger, to inspect and package up to 7,000 towels per hour.

The inspection and packaging operation begins by loading the bulk feed bin with clean towels or other industrial laundered items. Loading can be done while the system is operating.

Items are automatically fed from the bin to the pick conveyor for separation. Then, they are conveyed to the inspection area. After inspection, towels continue down the conveyor. Next, they pass through a counting eye. finally, they are automatically delivered to an open bag at the Autobag AB 255.

This commercial laundry equipment sets the pace of production. Speeds are adjustable to run slower for items requiring tighter inspection or faster to achieve high production rates.

The user-friendly control panel allows storage and recall of up to 14 jobs. It also can load building capabilities, show real time productivity data, onboard diagnostics, and more.

Optional features include a performance indicating light stack, laser level control system, reject count system, and an extended 71′ discharge conveyor. When used with genuine Autobag pre-opened bags, the Autobag Ergocon Textile Packaging Equipment System offers high-quality, reliability and flexibility for the commercial laundry industry.
