High speed, zero errors: how nut snack inspection is done today

High-speed nut snack production demands systems that can keep up with the pace, variety, and safety requirements of your production line. With Bizerba’s inspection solutions, you can maintain control, traceability, and reliability throughout the process—right down to the last package.

When manual inspection is no longer enough

Many nut manufacturers have reached the limits of traditional inspection systems. Labeling, allergen management, weight control, and foreign object detection can no longer be reliably handled manually or visually—especially with variable mixes, changing formats, short product cycles, and high packaging quality standards.

Additionally, the effort required for documentation, traceability, and audit preparation often increases faster than the production line itself.

Inline inspection for your nut snack line: modular, digital, fast

With Bizerba, you get an integrated combination of hardware, software, and data. Our systems inspect every nut snack package inline for:

• Weight: High-performance checkweighers ensure accuracy even at over 600 ppm
• Foreign objects: Detection of metal, stones, or glass fragments using metal detectors or X-ray systems
• Labels and allergens: Automated visual verification to ensure correct labeling of ingredients and allergens
• Seal tightness and integrity: Inspection of sealed packaging to preserve freshness and product safety

All inspection data is collected centrally with the BRAIN2 software platform, automatically documented and ready for audits, internal quality controls, customer requirements, and legal regulations such as IFS, BRC, and FSMA.
