< / p>< p>Sorting&Inspection < /p>

< /p> < p>Inevitably with a natural product some imperfections will arise and these must be detected and sorted out by careful inspection, both visually and by touch. If excessive numbers of faulty items are found these are to be reported to production for checking of material , cutters or rumbling. Since some faults are more readily apparent before bundling and others afterwards ,100 % inspection is necessary both before and after bundling .

< /p> < /p>

First inspection by MEC sorters /packers. Each individual spatula to be examined ,rejecting any item displaying the faults listed below .The product is then to be bundled in 12s and re-examined before placing into cartons,together with a numbered packing slip identifying the sorter / packer responsible.

Persistant large numbers of rejects from any individual packer /sorter to be corrected by retraining .
