Dry product inspection
16 June 2014
A speciality chemicals company has selected Lock Inspection (part of the Loma Group)to supply the metal detection element of a new turn-key packaging line for lanolin pearls. As lanolin is used as a base ingredient in many moisturisers and lotions, it is crucial that not even the tiniest metallic particles find their way into the bulk product.
Three Lock metal detectors – two INSIGHT HD conveyorised systems and an INSIGHT PH VF Pharmaceutical Vertical Fall metal detector – are now up-and-running at the company’s East Yorkshire facility, screening bulk, free-flowing product and 25kg sacks of lanolin pearls for metal contamination.
The unit is Lock’s flagship inspection system for free-falling powders and granules, and was chosen for its compact dimensions. It slots beneath the out-flow of the box filling system and can check up to 3000kg of free-flowing product per hour.
