As consumption upgrades, people's demand for healthy and nutritious snacks such as nuts has increased. It is true that many netizens exposed the presence of foreign objects such as worms, wormholes, mold, labels and so on in the nuts, which makes people feel a little disgusting. According to industry insiders, nut processing companies should focus on quality and safety in the selection of raw materials, detection of foreign bodies in nuts, etc., in order to better prevent nuts mixed with foreign bodies from flowing to people's tables and ensure the safety of nut snacks.
However, it is worth mentioning that, because many nut processing companies currently adopt the foundry model, most of the foundries are small enterprises, and the configuration of nut production quality inspection and control is low, which also causes frequent nut products to a certain extent. There are quality and safety issues, such as foreign matter in nuts.
Some people in the industry said that the presence of foreign matter in the nuts may be due to the failure of certain links such as the selection and processing of raw materials. For example, the nuts color sorter is not used, and the quality of raw materials cannot be screened; there is no foreign body detection process, which causes nuts mixed with foreign bodies to enter the market, and so on. According to common sense, it is not difficult to understand that whether it is grains such as rice, soybeans, wheat, or nuts such as almonds, almonds, cashews, walnut kernels, and hazelnuts, they are easily affected by the outside world (such as temperature, air, etc.) during picking, transportation, and storage. (1, humidity) environment, resulting in mildew and deterioration. Therefore, to ensure the quality and safety of nut raw materials, before entering the subsequent production, the raw materials need to be screened to remove heterochromatic particles, such as moldy plasmids, insect-eaten particles, and other impurities, so as to avoid the mixing of unqualified raw materials. Subsequent processing.
Nowadays, many grain processing enterprises have introduced color sorters to automatically screen out heterochromatic particles in grains by using photoelectric detection technology to ensure the safety of subsequent grain processing. Of course, the color sorter can also be used for nut raw material sorting. According to a technician, the color sorter is equipped with an ultra-clear color sensor, which has a stronger ability to recognize the slight color difference of nuts, and can quickly and accurately identify subtle moldy plasmids, moth-eaten particles, and other irregular debris. At the same time, the use of multi-angle shadowless light path technology makes tiny spots, black spots on the needle tip, and wormholes invisible, preventing heterochromatic particles from entering the production by mistake.
It is undeniable that the color sorting machine controls the raw material sorting process to avoid misinformation of heterochromatic grains into production and ensure the quality and safety of nuts. However, it should be noted that since most of the nut processing goes through several processes, including raw material selection, cleaning, shelling, drying, peeling, etc., it is not ruled out that other links are not safe and hygienic, resulting in foreign matter being mixed into the nut production line, causing the nut to be contaminated And affect its quality. For this reason, it is necessary to install a foreign body detection machine in the packaging process to prevent "problem nuts" from entering the market.
Currently, X-ray foreign body detectors and metal foreign body detectors are available on the market. Both foreign body detection machines can detect whether there are foreign bodies in nuts. However, the X-ray foreign body detector mainly uses X-rays, which has a strong penetrating ability and a wider detection range. The machine can not only identify nuts mixed with foreign objects more sensitively and with high stability, but also identify product defects, such as packaging defects, cracks, bubbles, etc., so as to better ensure the quality and safety of nuts when they leave the factory.
In summary,the quality and safety of nut snacks cannot be ignored like other foods. Whether it is a nut processing company or a company seeking to process nuts, it must strictly control the safety of nut production, such as the selection of raw materials, the detection of foreign bodies in nuts, etc., and the use of advanced nut processing equipment such as color sorting machines and foreign body detection machines to ensure that the nuts The production and processing are safe, so that consumers can eat more at ease!
