FMCG Industry Solutions ProfilGate foreign matter capturing system

FMCG Industry Solutions has released the ProfilGate foreign matter capturing system, which is designed to prevent contamination on forklift tyres, trolley wheels and shoes from being introduced into a manufacturing environment. It works by capturing metal, glass, sand, dirt and swarf fragments from tyres and shoes every time they travel across the system.

Positioned for use at all entrances with high traffic, such as hygiene entrance, warehouse entrance, production areas, processing areas, maintenance departments and other high-risk areas, the system is designed to reduce the risk of product cross-contamination and can prevent potential recalls.

Using the latest German cleaning technology, the patented brush system is activated by the weight of a forklift/shoes as it travels across the metal grid. It actively removes contaminants (up to 8 mm in diameter) from the tyres and soles of shoes, which are then captured inside the stainless steel tray.

Designed with no obstructions, no trip hazard, no power requirement and no maintenance, the system can clean 24/7 without the user knowing it. While the whole industry is focused on detection, this system is designed to focus on prevention.
