Also known as the Defect and Foreign Object Detection system or DFOD, it was developed to provide the critical control point after blocks are de-bagged, prior to further processing such as slicing or shredding.

The H&C Mould Detection Unit is the first in the world to automate inspection for visible mould and clear plastic bag residue after de-bagging.

It can also inspect the product through the vacuum bag prior to debagging, reducing downtime due to contamination of the line.

The unit can handle varying formats from 10kg/20lb to 20kg/40lb blocks. All six sides of each block can be inspected at a rate of up to 23 blocks per minute.
