Like finding a needle in a haystack, this system can sense 0.8 mm metal particles in a fast-moving line.
Although Burke's food safety programs meet or exceed government and industry standards, the processor seeks continuous improvement and constantly raises the bar to enhance food safety. Burke continually monitors sources that may introduce metal particles into the production process. One source, the raw meat ingredients used to produce cooked meat products, may contain small pieces of metal that are undetected during the raw blending process. Another potential source is the contact friction and vibration of metal processing equipment, which may shed fine particles or cause metal parts to be displaced into the product flow.
