X-RAY FOOD METAL DETECTION

Physical foreign body contamination within food products is a common problem for all food manufacturers. When reviewing the food chain, from field to fork, many opportunities exist for the introduction of metal, glass, stone, bone, plastic and rubber contaminants through the process. Stones are introduced from the farmer's field during harvesting. Glass bottles are discarded into farm fields, picked up by combines and shattered into the raw ingredients. Hypodermic needles are broken and left within the pigs and cattle shoulders when vaccinated at the hog farms or cattle ranches. Small minute but dangerous pieces of metal from processing equipment that is unmaintained can be processed into the ingredients. Poultry bones are not effectively removed during the slaughter and inspection process eventually leading to a choking hazard at the consumer level.

Food Metal Detector Equipment

The most effective means in detecting foreign body contaminants is through the integration of x-ray systems designed for the food industry, ensuring there are no dangerous physical and harmful contaminants before the food is shipped to the consumer. Food x-ray solutions work to detect and eliminate the smallest fractions of ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless metals, rubber, glass, stone and bones in any type of packaged or unpackaged food product: wet, dry, frozen, bulk, plastic wrapping, metallic wrapping and even within foil tray products. X-Ray Physical Contamination Detection Systems on packaging lines and/or earlier in the process on the raw ingredient or slaughter lines effectively finds and eliminates the dangerous physical contaminants often found in many food products.

X-Ray Food Inspection

X-Ray Systems for food can be implemented in nearly any type of production line. Food Inspection Systems use versatile and advanced algorithms to identify the smallest presence of metals in food and is the only solution that can detect other dangerous physical contaminants hidden within and inside of food. In addition, x-ray inspection systems can detect missing, items, broken conditions, mis-packaged products, calculate a weight of the product and review for the inclusion of food within a seal due to misalignment of the
flow wrap system.

HACCP Food Safety Inspection

Consumer safety, overall product quality assurance and the protection of your brand image are all vastly improved with the use of x-ray equipment. Metal detectors are critical to an effective and comprehensive contamination program but X-ray Systems Technology significantly advances the ability to assure product quality and find small contaminants. By detecting and rejecting physical contaminants beyond just metal, companies boost their bottom line by reducing waste, assuring their customers that they are committed to quality leading to new business and the prevention of exorbitant settlements from lawsuits brought by people who experience problems that could have been prevented.
