Track 1: The Operator’s Cleaning & Verification Briefing

Format: Onsite or Virtual | Duration: 10–15 Minutes

Designed for Line Leads and Production Staff. Fast-paced and practical.

The most common cause of magnet failure in food plants is improper cleaning or handling. This session ensures your front-line team knows exactly how to maintain your defenses.

  • Safe Cleaning Protocols: How to remove captured metal without re-introducing it into the product stream.

  • Cleaning and PM Schedule: Cleaning the magnets is vital to successful metal separation. A discussion of the importance and how to develop this program.

  • Visual Integrity Checks: Identifying "pitting," cracked welds, or liquid ingress that could harbor bacteria.

  • The "Magnet vs. Metal" Reality: Why certain stainless steels are harder to catch and how flow rate affects separation.

  • Preventative Maintenance (PM) Basics: Simple, proactive steps operators can take to extend the life of the magnet and prevent emergency downtime.

  • Daily Documentation: Simple, accurate logging for your HACCP records.

Track 2: The QA & Maintenance Compliance Deep Dive

Format: Onsite or Virtual | Duration: 60–90 Minutes

Designed for QA Managers, PCQIs, and Maintenance Directors.

This technical session focuses on the science of magnetic separation and the strict documentation required by modern food safety audits.

  • Understanding Magnetic Strength: The difference between "Pull Strength" and "Gauss," and why both matter for $SQF/BRC$ compliance.

  • Tramp Metal Risk Assessment: How to identify Critical Control Points (CCPs) and evaluate if your current magnets are the right strength for your product.

  • Rare Earth vs. Ceramic: Why the material of your magnet dictates your testing frequency and cleaning schedule.

  • Audit Defense: How to interpret NIST-traceable certification reports and present them confidently to third-party auditors.
