In 1978, Bill Huggins and Bill Mann founded Pretzels Inc. Based in Bluffton, Indiana, the company manufactures and distributes traditional, peanut butter-filled, flavored, seasonal and gluten-free pretzels, as well as extruded snack products, to leading grocers as well as private and national brands.

I was fortunate enough to attend PACK EXPO Las Vegas last month to see many of these machines that are new to market. From combination X-ray and checkweigher systems, to metal detectors and vision systems, the takeaway was flexibility and high speed action.

Loma Systems will be highlighting a wide range of check and detect contaminant inspection equipment for the global food, pharmaceutical and packaging industries at Pack Expo 2017.
