Arevalo Foods, a family-owned processor, offers one of the largest selections of tortillas in the world—producing more than 3.5 million per day in Montebello, Calif. To support its double-digit growth over the past few years, Arevalo installed three METTLER TOLEDO Safeline Profile Advantage metal detectors to help protect its final product quality.
“Tortillas are especially challenging products for most metal detectors, since they often have high temperatures and a moisture content above 30%,” says Alex Arevalo, president of Arevalo Foods.
