Inspection ensures ice cream satisfaction
Cheshire Farm has installed a new metal detector and conveyor system from Lock Inspection Systems to ensure accurate ice cream inspection.
The UK-based firm said it will inspect filled tubs and replaces an outdated metal detector.
The business produces over 2,000 litres of ice cream per hour, in more than 30 different flavours and tub sizes from 110ml to five litres.
“Accurate inspection of ice cream can be difficult because the conductive signal varies according to the temperature of the product - even slight changes during production will make a difference,” said Rob Gray, UK sales at Lock Inspection Systems.
“With temperatures of around -6˚C at inspection, any unexpected rise or fall in ambient temperature may change the temperature of the ice cream and alter the conductive signal that it generates. “
