METAL DETECTION
CEIA’s inspection systems improve results with the world’s only multi-spectrum metal detector.
The unique technology achieves the highest sensitivity to smaller particles by applying a broad spectrum of frequencies, which accurately distinguishes between metal contaminants and product effects with no reduction in sensitivity.
CEIA inspection systems from Heat and Control assure precise, consistent detection and rejection of product containing foreign objects.

HEAT AND CONTROL NZ BOOSTS SALES LEADERSHIP
Heat and Control has announced the promotion of Scott Burrows to sales and operations manager for New Zealand, adding his 25 years of food and beverage processing industry know-how to the leadership position. In his previous roles in project engineering, sales, and sales management, Burrows clocked up extensive experience in managing projects from quote to installation.
Burrows says he has a real focus on continuous improvement in his new role and “enjoys the custom- er-centric approach that the New Zealand-based team has, and how they tackle daily challenges with a positive mindset”.
Ishida was the only supplier to offer both sealtesters and checkweighers in one package.” – Andre Wurz
The Ishida TSC-RS sealtesters are fully automatic inline systems that can detect leaks with diameters of just 3mm at speeds up to 150bpm. Because the packs are full of fragile crisps, the careful way in which the sealtesters handle them is a particularly useful feature.
The TSC-RS sealtesters are able to detect a wide range of defects. For example, packing material or product residue burnt onto the sealing jaws of the bagmakers can sometimes result in pinholes in the heat seal.
The Ishida DACS-G checkweighers, meanwhile, ensure that all finished packs comply with relevant regulations, rejecting any that fail to meet specifications.
At the same time, the checkweighers minimise prod- uct giveaway due to overfilling. The machines’ high- speed loadcell delivers accuracy to within 0.2 grams, while a special system compensates for floor vibrations.
Operators can switch between two settings at the touch of a button, which means that the checkweighers can be used for a larger product range.
The checkweighers also incorporate Ishida’s IDCS II (Ishida Data Capture System) web-based software, that col- lects a wealth of data about every pack to provide valuable information that helps Johanning Snack boost productivity.
IDCS can carry out real-time analyses based on product batches, shifts, operators, products, machines or lines, with graphical displays and reports that are user-defined and can be customised.
“IDCS II tells us what we need to know about line output,” confirms Wurz, adding, “With IDCS II, we can log every packet of crisps and then pass these logs on to our customers.”
Wurz is also able to use the system on a mobile de- vice, even when away from the factory.
Ishida technology is supplied and serviced in Australia and New Zealand by local distributor Heat & Control. ■
