World Health Organization Report Reveals Need For Industrial Metal Detectors Within Food Industry

Since 1948 the World Health Organization (WHO) has served as the definitive authority on both communicable and non-communicable diseases - shaping emergency standards and creating universal hospitalization strategies. It’s provided a platform for prevention, education, and reform; and through its efforts global care has improved.Connexus Industries, however, is most interested in the WHO’s recent revelation of the dangers of lead poisoning - with this metal creating an increase in food contamination incidences and a greater need for detection technology.
Lead-based particles plague the food industry, with their presence triggering a series of dangerous symptoms in consumers. These symptoms - which include impaired vision, hallucinations, kidney failure, convulsions, cognitive impairments, and extreme behavioral changes - impact thousands of individuals each year, leaving North America susceptible to both short-term and long-term health issues. The necessity of detecting this metal, therefore, is essential before products reach the market.
Connexus Industries now provides a solution to this issue: the Rens-Metal Shark detector. This option delivers precise protection, pairing DDS and DSP microprocessing technology to identify tramp metals. Its custom fiberglass panels quickly bolt to any food conveyor, allowing it to continually monitor outputs and assess particle levels. By doing this, it can combat concerns of lead poisoning and reduce hospitalizations in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
We believe that safety is the right of every consumer - and we help our clients provide that safety. To learn more about our Rens-Metal Shark detector contact us today.
Connexus Industries Delivers Stainless Steel Chains To The North American Food Industry

Consumption levels prove high in North America, with a recent study from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reveling increased demands for dietary fat, saturated fat, and animal products. Household levels waver between 15% to 35% above worldwide ratios, leading to a need for increased processing.Connexus Industries knows, however, that this processing often wreaks havoc on equipment - fusing every conveyor with antioxidants, surface agents, and harsh chemical additives. These elements undermine the functionality (and durability) of traditional chains, weakening their linkage.
To counter this we provide our clients with stainless steel chains. These items have been precisely engineered for the food industry, delivering superior protection against chemical streams and constant conveyor wash-downs. Their heat-treated materials resist both corrosion and oxidation, and their low-draft profiles ensure even distributions. This promotes longevity with every operation.
The food industry was among the few that didn’t suffer the effects of the Great Recession of 2007 - and it continues to grow in North America, with companies accelerating their schedules and developing new flavors. Our stainless steel chains ensure that these flavors don’t interfere with the production process.

Countering Metal Contamination in the Global Food Industry

In 2015 the NSF International Organization released a startling study - one highlighting the rise of foreign material contamination throughout the globe:
United Kingdom: 118 major cases of metallic contamination recalls.
United States: 18 major cases of metallic contamination recalls.
Canada: 21 major cases of metallic contamination recalls.
Australia: 120 major cases of metallic contamination recalls.
United States: 18 major cases of metallic contamination recalls.
Canada: 21 major cases of metallic contamination recalls.
Australia: 120 major cases of metallic contamination recalls.
These numbers prove shocking - and highlight the need for industrial metal detection within the food industry.
The presence of trace metals (such as loose screws, copper staples, lead shots, screen wires, and tags) can have devastating effects on consumers, triggering:
Lead Poisoning.
Cadmium Poisoning.
Mercury Poisoning.
Arsenic Poisoning.
Internal Injuries (such as kidney or intestinal damage).
Oral Injuries (such as broken jawbones or chipped teeth).

Internal Injuries (such as kidney or intestinal damage).
Oral Injuries (such as broken jawbones or chipped teeth).
It’s imperative, therefore, that the food industry strives toward safety - by introducing metal detectors into its operations. These machines assess all product compositions, analyzing potential traces of ferrous, non-ferrous, or even stainless steel metals. Through DSP micro-processing, they can quickly identify these traces and ensure their swift removals. This promotes consumer safety and national compliance.
