No Tricks in Your Treats!

Do you know what’s scarier than those ghouls in the haunted house? Finding metal pieces in the candy you worked hard for! Imagine biting into your favorite chocolate bar, only to discover a tiny piece of metal lurking within. It's a terrifying thought, but thankfully, unsung heroes are working behind the scenes to protect our treats. Industrial Magnetics are the ghostbusters of the food industry, protecting our favorite candies from metal monsters. 

Metal monsters can lurk in places that may never cross our minds, including candy manufacturing facilities. Factories have metal machinery and tools that candy passes through during all phases of the operations. The USDA has clearly outlined metal detection expectations that all candy-makers and food manufacturers must follow. 

Curious about what kind of magnets your candy may have gone through? Let's check it out! 

Chocolate and peanut butter head through liquid line magnets. These powerful T-Traps are designed to capture even the smallest metal particles that might find their way into your sugary liquid-like mixtures. Whether it’s a thick, gooey slurry or watery liquid, liquid line magnets ensure that every batch is free from metal contaminants.

Small, hard, or chewy candies can go through magnets like our Bullet® Magnet. Ingredients for these candies can be passed through a Bullet® Magnet to remove any metal particles that may have accidentally mixed in. By installing this magnet in a pneumatic conveying system, manufacturers can protect their machinery from metal debris. This helps prevent costly repairs and downtime.

This is just the beginning of magnets that can be used for candy manufacturing! 

As you start to unwrap your first (because nobody eats Halloween candy BEFORE Halloween…) piece of hard-earned candy this week, remember the unsung heroes working diligently to ensure your safety. Industrial Magnetics is committed to safeguarding our candy supply. By utilizing advanced metal separation technology, they're not just protecting our health, but also preserving the joy of a simple pleasure.

Happy Halloween!
