Locking Out metal we don't need One of the biggest headaches for industries employing line processing machinery has been the potential contamination factor from particles of metal that find their way into the product. Wherever sieving , crushing, cutting, mixing or packing processes take place using machinery there is an ever present danger of metal contamination which can be extremely damaging to products and brand reputation while undermining consumer confidence and exposing manufacturers to costly litigation. Companies could also suffer costly down time and repairs to sophisticated machinery leading to production losses with adverse bottom line impact. The danger when applied to the food industry could be catastrophic. One of Sri Lanka's premier food companies, Ceylon Biscuits Ltd has taken a quantum leap in ensuring highest quality standards by employing a strict Metal Detection(MD) regime across its entire manufacturing process using "LOCK" Metal Detection equipment. Munchee employs no less than 7 met 30+ LOCK Inspection system across their manufacturing process at its Pannipitiya plant. It incorporates a sophisticated balanced 3-coil detector system that has the capacity to detect the tiniest fragment of metal. This equipment is used by the top food and pharmaceutical industries around the world. Munchee is also installing the same system at its Ranala plant. LOCK's local agent Package Care Ltd do not restrict their role to mere liaison between the principle and customer but foster a close partnership. |
