Project Background

Steakholder, a company specializing in printing and developing plant-based meat substitutes, reached out to us to find a quality control solution that could be integrated into their printer. They have developed a printer that produces legume-based meat, but part of their process requires sterile quality control for the food products produced.

What is the solution that we have developed for the costumer?

Our company’s experts recommended a combination of BAUMER sensors specifically designed for the food sector. These sensors meet the strictest standards (FDA approved) and were integrated into the printer to perform two main functions: measuring the condition of liquids and solids during the production process and monitoring the products on the conveyor belt. The durability of the sensors within the printer was a decisive factor, as they are exposed to a chemical environment due to daily cleaning of the internal parts, and it was crucial that they could withstand these conditions.

 

Advantages of the solution

– Quality control without external faults or exposure to contaminants
– Long-term durability and reliability of the sensors within the printer
– Significant savings in production costs through the prevention of rejects
