One of the biggest Indonesian food companies located in Jakarta and with a market presence of almost 50 years, has developed into a global market
leader of instant Noodles. Its target is to achieve this also with all its other products such as spice mixtures and sauces. The company‘s success was to provide consumers with instant meals in typical Indonesian flavours – which is why the spice division is so important.

The problem: Metal inspection without interruption of the flow or reduction of the conveying speed

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. For this purpose the metal detector had to be hermetically integrated in the customer‘s pipeline system in which the spice mixtures are transported at high speed.

The solution: GF 4000 offers reliability in the metal separation at high conveying speed and without production interruption.

The metal detector GF 4000 detects all metallic impurities and separates them reliably by means of the „Quick Flap“ separation system with minimal material loss and without a production stop. In addition, specially developed for material conveyor speeds up to 20 m/sec.

The outcome: Maximum interference immunity and highest reliability – both mechanically and in terms of the process.

The reliability of the GF 4000 with r espect to detection and separation of contaminations with minimum loss of good material, the easy installation and the high stability during production were the deciding factors for this food producer.

Compliance with HACCP programme requires mandatory metal separation in the food industry AZO GmbH + Co. KG, Osterburken Germany, design, develop, manufacture and sell equipment, machinery, and systems designed for fully automated production process. Conveying systems transport raw materials for production. AZO equipment and automation systems guarantee consistent product quality in compliance with DIN EN ISO 9001: 2008.

AZO provides food processors, who are legally required to take effective safety measures against contaminants, with high-quality machinery and systems which help ensure that their products comply with the relevant standards.

For AZO systems Sesotec metal separators are a must Inspection begins with bulk material delivery prior to the bulk silos to remove contaminants as early as possible. The latest metal detectors and separators offer a range of functions other than basic metal detection and are, nowadays, fully integrated quality assurance instruments. Sesotec supplies AZO with metal separation equipment that specifically meet the high demands for bulk material handling in the food industry
