Inspection Systems Partners with Food Radar
Inspection Systems, a leading provider of food safety technology in Australia and New Zealand, has been appointed the distributor for Food Radar®, a cutting-edge detection system designed to identify foreign matter in pumpable food products.
This innovative system promises to address one of the most persistent challenges in food manufacturing: detecting contaminants like soft plastic, wood splinters, and fragments of fruit stones, which traditional detection systems often miss.
Andreas Lood, Business Developer at Food Radar, stated: “For the Australian and New Zealand markets, we recognize the importance of having a strong local partner to support our initiatives effectively. We are thrilled to be partnering with the experienced team at Inspection Systems. Their long-standing history and established market presence align perfectly with our vision, making them the ideal partner we have been seeking.”
What makes Food Radar® unique?
The Food Radar® is unique in that it uses microwave technology, unlike conventional detection methods that rely on X-rays, magnetic fields, or cameras. This breakthrough technology can detect not only dense materials but also less obvious contaminants such as soft plastics and organic matter, ensuring that products leaving the factory floor are safe for consumers.
Brad Grubb, Managing Director of Inspection Systems said: “Food Radar® is a revolutionary system that detects previously undetectable foreign bodies, giving manufacturers a crucial advantage in food safety. We’re proud to introduce the brand and technology to Australia and New Zealand, setting a new industry benchmark.”
Detecting Difficult Contaminants including Soft Plastic
Soft plastic contamination is particularly problematic in the food industry, where even small fragments can present serious safety risks. In the fruit processing sector, fragments from fruit stones can have sharp edges and pose similar dangers as broken glass. Other threats include wood splinters from pallets, hard plastic from equipment, and rubber from worn-out gaskets. The Food Radar® technology effectively tackles these challenges, offering food manufacturers a robust solution for product safety.
Designed for Low and High Viscosity Foods
The system is versatile, designed to work with both low- and high-viscosity pumpable foods, from soups and sauces to dairy and fruit products. Whether the product is homogeneous or contains particulates, the Food Radar® ensures that foreign matter is detected and removed before the product reaches consumers.
As food safety standards continue to rise, Inspection Systems’ partnership with Food Radar Systems marks a significant milestone for the industry in Australia and New Zealand, offering manufacturers peace of mind and consumers a safer product.
