Mettler Toledo: Ensuring Food Safety Through High-Quality Product Inspection Equipment
Food safety is gaining high importance among food manufacturers. New and additional resources are being deployed by food processors to comply with local and global food safety norms. With the increase in outsourcing, the e-commerce players are setting up in-house food safety departments for their labels. To safeguard and enhance their brand image, and to ensure the availability of safe food to consumers, companies are also formulating their food safety guidelines. Food manufacturers are looking for food manufacturing equipment that can provide them with reliability and repeatability, and help them achieve digitalization. As a relatively new technology, X-ray inspection systems are gaining importance for those applications which require contaminant detection of a wide range of contaminants, plus for those needing packaging and product integrity checks to be simultaneously completed.
One such leading global manufacturer of precision instruments and service provider excelling at offering product inspection system is Mumbai-based Mettler-Toledo. The company has launched a new product inspection combination system for harsh washdown environments. Mettler-Toledo's CM33 Washdown and CM35 Washdown combination systems are aimed at manufacturers of packaged food products, including dairy and meat products, who require quick-cleaning, advanced contaminant detection, and precision weighing solution.
Largest provider of weighing systems & analysis instruments
While the company ranks highly in a number of market segments and is a global market leader in many areas, Mettler-Toledo is the largest provider of weighing systems and analysis instruments for use in production areas, laboratories, and in-line measurement within demanding industrial and food production processes.
Research is critical in developing and manufacturing high-quality product inspection equipment that can allow food manufacturers to maintain the highest standards of food safety.
"At Mettler-Toledo, we are in constant dialogue with our customers to understand their challenges, and with legislative bodies across the world, to ensure our technology meets food safety needs both now and in the future. That dialogue is a vital part of the research that we do," says Sanjeev Kumar Kapoor, Head of Industrial and Product Inspection Businesses, Mettler-Toledo.
"We are renowned for innovation and have our R&D teams and facilities across the world, as well as testing facilities that customers and legislators can attend to see our technology in action," he adds.
