Enhancing poultry safety: Mitus? metal detection technology sets new standards in food industry
The metal detector Mitus?, equipped with flexible MiWave modulation, overcomes challenges posed by highly conductive products such as chicken for metal detectors. This advanced technology enhances detection sensitivity, enabling the identification of even the smallest metal pieces, thereby ensuring the production of safe products.
Key facts
Whether it’s chicken wings, breast, thighs or a complete chicken, these are all products that Plukon delivers. They face significant challenges in implementing metal detectors due to the complex composition of the products. Frequent ?false“ detections can result in extensive tests in the quality department, reducing the return of investment of such devices.
Application & Product
To ensure that any type of metal contamination is excluded after processing, a metal detector Mitus? was installed in the line before the final packaging of the poultry. This ensures product safety and quality, meeting industry standards and assuring consumers of product integrity.

Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). Particularly in the poultry industry, the resulting measures are especially rigorous due to the limited processing steps involved in poultry production. Metal detection is a critical aspect of food safety protocols, especially in environments where contamination risks are high. However, traditional metal detectors often struggle to accurately detect metallic foreign objects in poultry products due to their unique electromagnetic properties. This can lead to unnecessary product wastage and compromises in food safety standards. In response to these challenges, Plukon, a leading player in the poultry supply chain, sought a reliable solution to minimise false rejections and ensure the highest levels of metal detection, equipped with the innovative MiWave technology.
The metal detector Mitus? is specifically designed to address the complexities of metal detection in poultry products. Its advanced MiWave technology enables the detection of even the smallest metallic contaminants with unparalleled accuracy, overcoming the limitations of traditional metal detectors. On top of that, the new design eases frequent cleaning procedures, which are essential and rigorous in this environment. By implementing Mitus? into their production line, Plukon has been able to significantly reduce false rejections, thereby minimizing product waste and maximizing operational efficiency. Moreover, the metal detector Mitus? ensures compliance with HACCP standards, providing peace of mind to both Plukon and their customers regarding the safety and quality of their poultry products.
