Global Nut Exporter Selects Supermarket-Spec Fortress Metal Detector
Most snack producers opt for gravity metal detectors, but Trigon Snacks went with a customized linear metal detector with an innovative retractable conveyor reject system.
Processing 7,000 tons of nuts annually from its British Retail Consortium A-grade and RSPO certified facility, Trigon Snacks supplies a wide range of nuts and snacks to the licensed trade, retailers and food service operators. Marketed under its own brands as well as retailer private labels, the company commissioned a highly sensitive conveyor-style metal detection concept to ensure compliance with global retailer and regulatory standards for its new honey roasted nuts line.
Stringent retailer COPs specified the line as “naked nuts,” so the new honey-coated range needed to be inspected for metal contaminants prior to own-label packaging. Additionally, Trigon required a supermarket spec metal detector that was sensitive enough to adapt to the fine oil and sugar tolerances and meet the regulatory requirements of every geographical market they are sold in.
