Metal detection helps deliver safe products while saving time and money
Oakshire Mushroom Farm develops, grows and packs specialty mushrooms under both OAKSHIRE and private-label brands
Oakshire Mushroom Farm develops, grows and packs specialty mushrooms under both OAKSHIRE and private-label brands. Oakshire is also the exclusive licensee for all DOLE mushrooms in North America. The company is always looking for ways to improve its operations and deliver the best products. In 2015, Oakshire needed a new metal detector at its Kennett Square, PA packing plant and selected a Signature Touch from METTLER TOLEDO Safeline.
“Metal detection is crucial when producing mushrooms, because they’re grown in wooden beds held together with nails and screws. It’s extremely important that none of that metal gets mixed in with the product and goes out the door,” says Steven Lathe, maintenance manager for Oakshire.
