AMR magnet validation

Product recalls, brand name damage, foreign contamination and equipment damage are all consequences of below-standard, low-strength or inadequate magnetic separation equipment. Measures should therefore be taken to ensure that the magnet strengths are maintained, placed in the right location and positioned correctly within the production line.

Annual testing and evaluation of magnets in accordance with an HACCP International program and the current 0909MAGSEP 1-2010 Food Safety Standard will ensure they are within specification, and in addition, flag any areas of concern and provide the necessary steps to correct issues such as magnet strengths below tolerance of specification, magnet damage, related contamination and hygiene risks and inadequate product stream coverage. This annual check not only ensures magnets are operating to necessary standards for final packing protection but also ensures minimal damage, costs and downtime to critical processing equipment.

AMR testing representatives are authorised technicians, trained to carry out endorsed services using a currently calibrated gauss meter traceable to a NATA accredited laboratory. This specified service delivers a quality HACCP-endorsed report containing realistic and practical magnetic separation solutions keeping users aware of the latest technology to assist in maintaining product security and brand protection.
