Metal detection in pneumatically conveyed breadcrumbs
At the POWTECH, in hall 7, stand 679, S+S among others presents the GF 4000 metal separator
The Gebrüder Leimer KG in Traunstein / Upper Bavaria is a company with a long tradition that was founded in 1919 by the brothers Carl and Josef Leimer as a bread factory with confectionery. Developed into an internationally important company by Karl Leimer, the company`s philosophy of `Quality through freshness` right from the start has been the decisive success factor.
Based on the existing quality management system with integrated HACCP concept, Leimer has obtained a higher-level IFS certificate. To ensure that Leimer`s full product range is free of any metal contaminations, Leimer among others uses a metal separator of type GF 4000 made by S+S.
The GF 4000 metal separator examines breadcrumbs for magnetic and non-magnetic metal particles. The products are transported by way of continuous vacuum conveyance. Contaminations are separated with a minimum loss of good material by way of the fast-acting eject flap (`quick-flap system`). The metal separator was installed vertically in the existing vacuum conveyor system. All system components are designed to meet Leimer`s stringent hygiene requirements.
As Karlheinz Leimer of Gebrüder Leimer KG sums up: `The S+S metal separator GF 4000 has delivered optimal performance in practice. The great ease of cleaning is an advantage of this metal separator. Altogether we were convinced by the conclusive concept for the food industry that was provided by S+S.`
