Problem:
Application: Airline Food Trays in Foil Pans
A global supplier of processed airline meals in foil trays could not use a metal detector to meet foreign object detection requirements. This caused loss of market share to competitors offering better detection.
Solution:
Eriez Small Package
(XR-21) Inspection System was installed to detect minute metal and check tray weight.
Problem:
General Mills' Buffalo, NY, USA plant needed to prevent stray bits of metal from threatening product purity and damaging production machinery.
Solution:
More than 60 magnetic
Plates,
Pulleys,
Ferrous Traps and
Grates were installed throughout the plant after each step in the processing system. The plant superintendant reported that the magnets made a dramatic difference.
