The New Webinar Features Expert Strategies for Enhancing Food Safety and Efficiency in Flow Wrap Packaging

Royston, Hertfordshire, UK – 25^th March 2024 – Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection, a global leader in product safety technologies, is pleased to announce its upcoming webinar titled “4 Steps to Maximise Product Quality in Horizontal Flow Wrap Applications.” The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday 8^th May with sessions at 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM GMT.

In this impactful session, attendees will hear from industry experts as they explore the challenges confronting food manufacturers packaging products in flow wraps. Against the backdrop of evolving packaging regulations, manufacturers grapple with intricate challenges, including packaging complexities and accelerated production, all of which can diminish crucial manufacturing time and accuracy. This webinar will explore strategies for navigating these constraints to combat rising manufacturing costs and enhance production efficiency.

Experts on the webinar will discuss four key steps to optimise product quality in packaging. These steps include advanced inspection technologies such as metal detection, x-ray, vision technology, and checkweighing, specifically tailored to address the unique requirements of horizontal flow-wrapped production lines for high-speed applications, such as snacks.

Presenting this insightful webinar is Niall McRory, the Global Key Account Manager at Mettler-Toledo who brings over 24 years’ experience and expertise in food safety. With a focus on creating global standardisation of supply, he has spearheaded initiatives that have led to reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and provided best-in-class Product Inspection sales and service support.

“We understand the critical importance of maintaining product quality and safety in flow wrap applications, especially in the fast-paced snack industry,” says Niall McRory. “Our webinar aims to provide practical strategies and demonstrations to help manufacturers maximise efficiency and compliance in their production processes.”
