Metal contamination from machinery wear, broken tools, or processing equipment is one of the most common causes of food product recalls worldwide. CEHUMA offers an inline metal detector for food packaging as a fully integrated solution within thermoform packaging and form-fill-seal machines.
This advanced metal detection system for packaging accurately detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel particles during production. By integrating detection directly into the packaging line, it eliminates the need for separate conveyors or standalone inspection units.
The result is automatically verified metal-free production at the point of packaging, improving food safety, efficiency, and overall production performance.
Food manufacturers are required to implement metal detection as part of food safety systems defined by HACCP, BRC, IFS, and FSSC 22000 standards.
Major supermarket chains enforce strict retailer code of practice metal detection requirements, making metal detection a mandatory Critical Control Point (CCP) in food production.
Without proper food safety metal detection equipment, manufacturers face product recalls, compliance issues, and financial losses. A food recall prevention metal detector helps maintain consistent product safety and protects brand reputation.
The inline metal detector packaging machine is positioned directly within the production cycle, usually after filling and before or after sealing, to inspect every package.
As products pass through the detection tunnel, the system automatically identifies metal contamination and activates the automatic reject mechanism when required.
Metal fragments from blades, saws, and processing equipment create contamination risks. A metal detector for meat packaging helps inspect every pack before shipment.
Fish processing equipment such as filleting blades and tray-forming tools can introduce metal particles. CEHUMA detection systems identify contamination before sealed packs move forward.
Mixing systems and filling heads may create contamination risks. Metal detection supports safer dairy packaging and retail compliance.
Wire, blade, and equipment fragments can enter products during processing. Inline detection checks finished packs before dispatch.
Programmable sensitivity settings help inspect multi-ingredient products accurately.
Medical packaging requires strict inspection and traceability. CEHUMA systems provide detection records and rejection logs for compliance.
CEHUMA inline metal detectors identify ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel contaminants commonly found in food processing environments.
No. The integrated detection system works with the packaging machine cycle speed without reducing production capacity.
CEHUMA designs detection systems for CM Series and YZ Series machines. Retrofit options may be available depending on machine configuration.
Yes. The system supports HACCP Critical Control Point documentation and provides automatic detection and rejection records.
The reject mechanism automatically removes the contaminated pack and records the event in the machine HMI system.
Yes. Sensitivity settings can be adjusted and saved for different products. Operators can select the product recipe from the HMI and apply the correct settings automatically.
