Hi Midooo,
This will depend on your hazard identification and assessment and if you identify a risk from metal that is not controlled but could be managed by a metal detector (with rejection mechanism).
Thanks Tony;
Our product is white crystal sugar and it's physical hazards are ( Ferrous, Non Ferrous & St.St).
Our Planned control measures:
- Magnets to detect metal contamination before filling in bags.
- Routine samples every 2 hr, to analyse sugar and have the insoluble matters in a specified quantity and test method.
- Also check for each patch of incoming bags.
Note:
the factory now is on startup period, so my opinion I support to start with the controls mentioned above till we have an evidence for physical hazards that our controls cannot measure and then we may buy metal detectors.
waiting your response.
Thanks
Midooo
