X-ray inspection system for detecting foreign objects in food products
In the food processing industry, ensuring product safety and quality requires rigorous inspection methods. Traditional inspection techniques may miss small, low-density contaminants such as bone, shell, or plastic fragments, posing risks to consumer health and brand reputation.
Detects foreign objects with dual energy sensor
The IX-G2 Series X-ray Inspection System by Ishida, provided by Heat and Control, is engineered to detect the smallest and most elusive contaminants in food products. Using a dual energy sensor combined with Ishida’s genetic algorithm (GA) technology, the system accurately identifies low-density and thin contaminants like bone, shell, metal, and rubber. Additionally, it can detect missing product pieces, incorrect package weight, and product defects like cracks or voids. The IX-G2 is ideal for use in various applications, including poultry, seafood, vegetables, cereals, and products with uneven surfaces or overlapping sections. With a stainless steel construction and IP66 waterproof conveyor, the system ensures easy access for cleaning and sanitation without the need for tools, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
