Metal kept out of Kraft’s cappuccino

Kraft Foods is using S+S metal detection equipment to ensure the ingredients used in the production of its cappuccino powder are free from contamination.

To meet hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) requirements, all bulk ingredients are checked for ferrous and non-ferrous metal contamination at goods inwards as they pass along vacuum tubes to the mixing equipment. This inspection at the very start of the production process eliminates the risk of damage occurring to the mixing equipment.

The S+S GF 4000 Sensity metal separation equipment used by Kraft is fitted into the existing vertical vacuum product delivery system without the layout of the pipes needing to be changed.

Even at very high conveying speed, the metal detection equipment protects the downstream processing machines and ensures product integrity is maintained.
