Bakery Metal Detection with Safeline's Versatile POWERPHASE Meets Sanitation, Documentation Needs
Safeline's POWERPHASE series of metal detectors provides crucial quality control for bakeries producing a wide variety of products from buns, bread, cake and pastry, to fresh dough, to frozen products. Easily integrated into conveyorized production systems, POWERPHASE provides several features that enhance sensitivity, especially to stainless steel. The Multi-Frequency capability enables a single metal detector to run conductive and non-conductive product while maximizing detector sensitivity for each product. The POWERPHASE also helps bakers meet the stringent guidelines for HACCP implementation.
Built to suit each customer's needs, Safeline provides both metal detectors and conveyors that are versatile and reliable. Aperture sizes can be customized to accommodate very wide belts, and the metal detectors can be provided in either stainless steel for washdown, or as white-painted aluminum for wipe-down cleaning environments. In conjunction with manufacturers of modular plastic belting, the newest bakery belting conveyor technology is incorporated into the POWERPHASE systems for bakeries.
Products such as hot breads and cakes are easily metal detected by the POWERPHASE and its multi-frequency capability. Raw dough products that require heavy duty stainless steel washdown equipment and food grade conveyor belting are handled by using Safeline's "extreme" washdown spec enclosure that's built to withstand and exceed NEMA 4X requirements for washdown conditions. All Safeline systems are USDA approved and suitable for clean-in-place.
For HACCP compliance, Safeline's POWERPHASE provides QC personnel with data that assures detector sensitivities are being maintained and other critical documentation for HACCP and Vendor Certification programs. The POWERPHASE reports on time-and-date stamped rejection incidences, real-time status of each detector on the network, information on individual detector settings, historical data on testing and shift reports, and Safeline's software allows a bakery to customize reports and export information into other applications such as spreadsheet or database programs. The POWERPHASE has built-in security that allows operations management to specify who can access various levels of the program, preventing tampering with shift reports or documentation.
