Cheese manufacturer: How the METRON 07 CI metal detector protects product quality and safety (case study)
In the food industry, there is no room for compromise. Food safety and customer trust are essential – especially in cheese production, where the quality of every pack matters. That is why one cheese manufacturer decided to strengthen production control and installed the METRON 07 CI tunnel metal detector.
Goal: detect metals before they reach the customer
The main goals were to:
- detect unwanted metal contaminants in final packaged cheeses,
- automatically reject contaminated packs from the production line,
and meet strict hygiene and food safety requirements.
Solution: METRON 07 CI for food processing operations
The production line was integrated with a METRON 07 CI tunnel metal detector, designed specifically for food applications. The detector reliably identifies ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless-steel metals and, when detected, automatically rejects non-compliant packs without interrupting production.
Result
After commissioning, the manufacturer appreciates:
- a higher level of quality control,
- protection of both consumers and the brand,
- automatic, unattended operation,
- the assurance that only safe products reach the market.
Conclusion
METRON 07 CI has become an important part of the production line – a quiet guardian that monitors the quality of every pack of cheese.
Exactly how a modern metal detector in the food industry should work.
