“The idea is that this laser is a much more accurate way of measuring the length of an outgoing bloom/billet from the primary mill and hence giving a much better yield loss as less good product needs to be cropped.”
“The SealTick is the perfect solution for us. It is so easy to use and offers a rapid test cycle allowing for objective testing.”
“The reliability and accuracy of the moisture gauges are never in doubt and we have relied upon them for many years. Kevin and his team have always been on hand to ensure we achieve the best out of our equipment.”
“Not only did Kevin get us up and running quickly, but his work was also thorough and traceable to the correct ASTM standard to which we test our products.”
“Kevin’s industry experience and product knowledge were evident and it has been great to have one point of contact throughout the process. Kevin even wrote our standard operating procedure (SOP) for us, which was much appreciated. We have been using the InfraLab Food Analyzer for ten months now and we can honestly say that there has been a massive improvement in our production processes and ultimately the quality of the end product. The potato waffles are now the crispiest that they have ever been and are now Birds Eye’s star product, thanks to the Infralab Food Analyzer and the guidance and support provided.”
“The Pre-print division has invested in a film weight gauge on one of its two presses. This is part of a wider project to ensure we are delivering the correct amount of coating. The NDC gauge delivers quality assurance both internally and externally to our customers. The ease of functionality of the system, sales processes and service provided make this gauge one of the best in the industry and I fully recommend an NDC system to any new business who are looking to invest in a film weight monitoring system.”
“It is imperative that the adhesive is applied accurately by the coating machine, and the NDC enables our customer to monitor the machine’s performance whilst running.”
“We got in touch with the team because we needed a product that would enable us to reliably and accurately test the seal integrity of the pouches coming off our new packing line. I was already aware of the bubble emission testing method as I had witnessed it at other manufacturing plants. So, knowing that this was the solution that I required, I contacted three potential suppliers. Immediately I was impressed with Kevin’s commitment to our enquiry. They were more than willing to provide us with a demonstration, which proved to be very useful and throughout the process, they displayed excellent customer service and were extremely professional and knowledgeable. I am really pleased with the quality and usability of the LeakVIEW. It has enabled us to understand how our pouches perform in a range of conditions and we are now confident that the pouches we are supplying to our customers are of a very high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin and the Dynascan brand.”
“We wanted to improve the accuracy and repeatability of the automated length cutting operation on our Agnati corrugator. From the first meeting, it was clear that John has a lot of experience in this area and they replaced our mechanical encoder with a LaserSpeed. The implementation of the LaserSpeed has enabled us to achieve our original goal and it has ultimately improved the quality of the products that we are supplying to our customers.”
“When rebuilding one of our clamshell furnaces we opted for four Impac ISR 6 pyrometers for precise temperature measurement. I am very impressed with the quality of every component from the cooling jackets to the sensors themselves, which seem exceptionally well made. I would not hesitate to contact Control Metrix in the future for any other applications that I may need help/equipment for.”
“I knew that some of the other Wienerberger sites had already purchased some NDC PrediktIR moisture gauges and I had heard that they were really improving the production processes and quality control procedures. I met up with some of the Control Metrix team at ClayTech, and I was immediately impressed with their expertise and what they had to offer. After discussions with NDC Product Specialist, we went ahead and purchased four NDC PrediktIR gauges. The gauges have really helped us to monitor and have greater control of our water input system and we are already getting some really useful data. I would certainly purchase from Control Metrix again in the future.”
“We have been very impressed throughout the process. We found the team to be very professional and knowledgeable and we had complete confidence in them. They took the time to come out to us to understand our processes and requirements and to provide us with a demonstration of the LeakVIEW, which proved to be invaluable. The delivery time was prompt and they even came to install the product, provide us with training and make sure that we were 100% comfortable using both the LeakVIEW and the Tersano Lotus Pro. Using the two products together means that not only are we confident that our grated cheese will remain fresh, but the testing process is 100% hygienic. We are pleased with both of the products and we cannot fault their customer service and support.”
“We got a call from John Miller back in 2018, just as we were finding our existing moisture gauge was failing. We discussed the possibility of replacing our existing gauge with an NDC gauge and invited John to come in for a site visit and to subsequently quote us for a PrediktIR. We were very impressed with John’s product knowledge and we decided to proceed with the purchase. We have found the PrediktIR to be very reliable and we are very happy with it.”
“We found that we were actually losing a lot of money due to not having the correct moisture content in our bricks, so back in January 2019, we decided to look into implementing some non-contact NIR moisture gauges to enable us to monitor this more effectively. We contacted Control Metrix and installed two NDC Technologies’ PrediktIR moisture gauges in our priority clay prep. area. I am very happy with the PrediktIR gauges and having the ability to constantly monitor the moisture content has massively improved our quality control processes. We were impressed with the evident product knowledge and expertise demonstrated by the team at Control Metrix and the customer service and aftersales support was great!”
“As part of bringing packaging integrity testing in-house so as to have a better understanding of packaging materials and also to comply with new MDR guidelines. We spoke to the product specialist at and he was able to develop a bespoke system specific to our requirements. The main advantage that we have found is how quickly we get the results. In the past it took a while to get the result back from the testing company, now we can get a result in a matter of minutes. This means we can identify quality issues almost immediately, meaning less wasted time and resources.
“We were manually testing the seal integrity of our blister packs, which we felt could be improved upon but after a conversation with Kevin Goodison, we decided to implement a Dynascan MediBLUE. We have found the addition of the Dynascan MediBLUE to our manufacturing process absolutely invaluable. The Dynascan MediBLUE is very easy to use, simple to operate and we have found that it saves us a great deal of time and resources. There is less risk of user error and subjectivity and on the whole we are pleased with the Dynascan MediBLUE. Throughout the purchase process, we found Kevin to be extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and we would not hesitate to recommend Control Metrix.”
“As a manufacturer of various snacks and crisps it is very important for us that we have the ability to measure and control the moisture and oil content as both can dramatically affect product quality, shelf-life and ultimately our reputation. Traditionally, we have always relied on established moisture balance and Carver press methods, but these methods can prove to be very time-consuming. We now favour the NDC Technologies’ InfraLab food analyzer, which has revolutionised our quality checks by making them faster and more frequent. We have found the InfraLab very easy to use and we have found the ability to keep data for quality audits invaluable. We have always been very impressed with Kevin Goodison’s level of service and we have appreciated him taking the time to visit us and assist us with new technologies and training etc.”
“We were looking to replace our existing seal integrity testing method and after putting together a User Requirement Specification (URS), I searched online for ‘seal integrity testing’ and Control Metrix came up.
I gave them a call and I was put in touch with the product specialist, Kevin Goodison. We had a meeting to discuss the URS and we decided that a custom-made, bespoke version of the Dynascan MediBLUE Pre-Set would meet our requirements and I placed an order. Throughout the process I was very impressed with Kevin’s evident product knowledge and expertise.
He was able to develop a custom-made solution for a complex requirement and was also able to provide the relevant training. I found Kevin to be very professional and I will most definitely be using them again in the future.”
