Industrial inspection equipment is becoming more and more prevalent in the food processing and manufacturing industry. This equipment enables the producer to produce a high quality end product free from contamination, and enables the producer, stockist and end-user to have peace of mind when purchasing their chosen product.
The use of industrial inspection equipment may incur an initial outlay from the client or relevant food producer, but this is quickly accounted for with security in the knowledge that all the relevant legislative and industry standards are all in place. This ensures that there is ultimately less wastage in the form of returns due to sub-standard product or contamination, and this in turn translates into higher profitability in the long term
Teraoka is a South African-based supplier of industrial inspection equipment and was established in 1984. We have the knowledge and experience of almost 30 years in the southern African market and we work tirelessly to exceed the expectations of every client by offering flexibility in terms of product, pricing and the installation of new equipment. Certification of our industrial inspection equipment complies with the South African Bureau of Standards – SABS.
Types of Industrial Inspection Equipment
• Rejectors – These make sure that substandard or rejected products do not go through your production line. They sort and expel seamlessly the rejected products ensuring the quality and consistency of your product in various categories. The speed and consistency of this type of industrial inspection equipment ensures that your production line is not slowed down during the process of expulsion from the line.
• Checkweighers – These are installed on countless food, industrial and pharmaceutical production lines for various quality control purposes. Often, the installation of an accurate checkweigher provides profit benefits to the user by controlling filler or scale accuracy to minimise product giveaway. This industrial inspection equipment comes with systems that are also used to assure compliance with label weight regulations and to eliminate consumer complaints associated with missing item or low-weight packaging conditions. Equipped with a high speed and high accurate force balance, every product on your production line is measured precisely to guarantee each package has the required amount of product in it. The industrial inspection equipment line of weighing systems meets the varying needs of the operators, quality control managers/site supervisors and corporate managers. Equipped with SMF (Smart Measurement Function), the high accuracy of the Teraoka SSV-h series integrates innovative signal processing along with improved scale resolution in order to reduce unnecessary rejects, and maximises line productivity.
• Metal Detection – The ultimate mission of a metal detector is to detect and eliminate minute metal contamination without fail. Metal detectors have analysed the concept of industrial inspection equipment of this sort thoroughly and comprehensively re-engineered it from scratch. Metal detectors, which form part of the industrial inspection equipment range, were developed to allow anyone to obtain highly sensitive and stable basic performance in production line and maximize detection of two phase angles simultaneously. Adopting a simultaneous 2-frequency magnetisation detection method, the dual wave (DUW) series can detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The use of metal detection equipment ensures that your product is free of both ferrous and non-ferrous metal contaminants. With over 40,000 industrial inspection equipment metal detectors installed globally, this metal detection equipment is reliable, and is easy to maintain and clean. With a DUW series anyone can achieve high-sensitivity and stability in their product.
• X-Ray Inspection System – The X-ray industrial inspection equipment systems are built with a commitment to safety and high accuracy detection. The technology installed in these machines can detect even the most minute contaminants – ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel spheres at production line speeds. Meanwhile, other systems detect metal contaminants, glass and stones. With a long proven track record in contaminant detection the X-ray inspection system forms the basis of a unique image processing algorithm to detect both soft contaminants: bones, plastics, wire contaminants (fine wires, etc.) at high sensitivity and high stability ensuring all production line items are free of this sort of contamination.
The incorporation of industrial inspection equipment into your production line guarantees that your product meets all safety and health standards and brings with it the added benefit of higher profitability due to the reduction in overall production, contamination during the production process, and the reduction of product return and waste. All the equipment is manufactured to meet the highest possible standards in industrial inspection equipment and comply with the South African Bureau of Standards.
