Foreign-body inspection for sauces and pumpable foods
Inspect the product stream before filling. For sauces and other pumpable foods, the assessment starts with the recipe, process conditions and the foreign materials you need to detect.
Discuss your applicationWhere Food Radar fits
Food Radar uses microwave-based sensing to identify changes in the dielectric properties of pumpable food. Its technology is designed for foreign-body detection, including challenging low-density materials such as plastic, rubber and wood. Suitability and detection performance need to be established with your product and representative contaminant samples.
- Review the product and pipeline conditions
- Test representative product and foreign-body samples
- Plan the sensor and rejection arrangement
What we need to assess your line
- Product recipe, viscosity and normal particulates
- Normal and maximum flow rate, pressure and temperature
- Pipeline diameter, connections and available installation space
- Foreign materials of concern and representative samples
- Air content, recipe changes and cleaning procedure
- Rejection requirements and connections to line controls
A pack or product sample, layout drawing and short line video will help us review the installation.

Common questions
Which foods should we discuss?
Food Radar lists sauces, salsas, dressings, soups, tomato preparations, fruit preparations and fillings among its application areas. Submit your recipe and operating conditions for a specific assessment.
Does this replace every other inspection system?
The inspection plan should follow the hazards and stages of your process. Assess each technology for the product and contaminants concerned rather than assuming one system covers every requirement.
