Safety and effectiveness should be top priorities at any processing facility, and magnet audits can go a long way to ensuring both. During the process, the machinery will be quality checked in many ways, so even the smallest flaw will be spotted before it becomes a major issue. Only qualified professionals should be selected to handle the inspection, though, as it requires special training to do properly. Magnetic Products, Inc. (MPI) can provide this knowhow, with an expert team ready to help processing facilities in nearly any industry. It’s also free to MPI’s clients, so there is never a reason to deal with ineffective machinery.
When should processing plants opt for an inspection?
Even the best designed machinery will wear down over time or suffer from inefficiencies that are difficult to consider. If the device is not installed correctly or placed in an appropriate place along a production line, it may not reach its full capacity. Also, there may be an environmental reason for any production problems, and these issues are hard to see without the help of an expert.
If a facility is having trouble with its separators, it should contact MPI right away to set up an inspection. The sooner the problem is checked, the easier it will be to fix. The technician can help a facility determine the best solution if any problems are found.
What will the inspection include?
During the check, MPI’s technicians will perform a series of tests on the machine, making sure that it meets all industry and safety standards. The inspection will be tailored to industry quality assurance standards and will also serve as documentation for HACCP standards. They will ensure that the equipment is working as designed and that it meets the facility’s requirements. If it isn’t producing enough power or is otherwise incompatible with the machine’s setup, the technician will be able to determine this.
The device will also be checked for efficient pull and optimal location. This will ensure that the device is set up for effective separation. The technician will also verify that the machine is being cleaned properly, as poor cleaning can cause excess material sloughing and escape. The technician will also ensure the facility is in possession of the proper HAACP documentation and is aware of all QA standards associated with the machinery.
Following any magnet audits, the technicians will produce a written report to the facility, detailing the performance of the machinery. The report will be presented to the facility’s quality assurance professionals and will include a complete evaluation of all inspected machinery and photographs for reference. If there are any concerns that need to be addressed, MPI will help the facility determine the proper actions to take.
MPI offers magnet audits to its customers for free, as it places a high priority on customer service and satisfaction. With their support, a processing plant can get the most out of its equipment.
