Protect ATOM Detector- An Amazing Solution for the Food Industry

Established in 2011, we at Protect Inspection have far-reaching awareness with food inspection equipment, which consists of metal detection, x-rays, and checkweighers. In this blog we’ll talk about our Protect ATOM metal detector.

Greatly efficient foreign object and quality control for business applications. Protect Inspection designs and manufactures industrial metal detector systems for the inspection of food. First and foremost is the protection of humans: Contaminated goods are detected and ejected by the systems; consumer protection is the most important asset here.

Metal Detectors in Food Industry

Do you know why are metal detectors used in the food industry? Metal detectors for food mainly are meant for the reason for consumer protection. In spite of the greatest care metallic contaminations of food products in the production process cannot be completely barred. Metal particles that enter the product during the production practice or already are contained in the raw material may cause severe injuries of customers. The effects of the producing business are many and include compensation claims and expensive recalls. Even bigger and longer-lasting damage is caused by the negative brand image and the loss of customer faith attributable to contaminated food products.

We extended our business in 2013, and head out to grow our first metal detector. The ATOM MD was designed to compete with other Major Manufacturers systems. It took us 2 years to find a very reliable and quality manufacturer who we can trust to make excellent products and work closely with to ensure our customer’s needs are properly met.

Protect manufacturing plant is located in Shanghai, China, where they build our search heads and conveyors. Our Engineering department in Canada worked countless hours to develop our software to work with their search heads. These teams continue to work very closely to make sure each metal detector is up to company standards.

Soon after in 2017, we started our Protect ATOM touchscreen system. This system is unique of its type as it focuses on FOOD safety like no other system in the market. With built-in DATA capture, your QA department can easily download all the DATA within a batch by a USB stick.

Our Protect ATOM metal detectors for food can be installed in every step of the production process and can be used for many different applications, e.g. for the inspection of bread and bakery products, meat and sausage product, fruit, vegetables, dairy products, spices, sugar, etc.

Metal Detector Systems: A Crucial Part of Food Manufacturing

When buying and consuming food, most people don’t think of the process it goes through before it is ingested. Food manufacturers know just how many processes food goes through before hitting the tables of its consumers. They understand how vital the safety is when food goes through these many processes. From the production of the food product, to weighing and packaging, precise measures must be taken to ensure metal particles do not get into the food. PROTECT works with manufacturers to ensure these processes are smooth and the consumption of these foods are safe. By having a metal detector system in the production line is the most reliable way manufacturing companies can make sure that when their food hits the tables of its customers, it is safe and ready to enjoy!

Metal detector types-

If we are talking about the need of metal detectors in the food industry, then let us talk about its types. The three major categories of these machines are:

• Conveyor System
• Freefall System
• Pipeline System

Each type systemis designed with its own special features and characteristics depending on its food item such as, for example: unpacked food, frozen food, sea food, snack items, and baby food. Food containers or packages containing any kind of metal components are detected and rejected.This ensures that unsatisfactory products do not make it off of the production line.
