X-ray inspection system for identifying foreign bodies in food products
Ensuring food safety and quality control in production lines requires reliable detection of foreign bodies such as metal, glass, or bone. Traditional inspection methods might miss low-density contaminants, making advanced X-ray systems crucial for maintaining product integrity.
Detect contaminants and defects effectively
The IX-EN Series X-ray Inspection System from Heat and Control (Ishida) offers a cost-effective solution for quality control in various food processing applications. Utilizing Ishida’s Genetic Algorithm (GA) image processing and 5-stage image analysis technology, the IX-EN Series detects a wide range of foreign bodies, including metal, glass, plastic, bone, and rubber. This system not only identifies contaminants but also inspects for product defects and estimates weight accurately. Designed for uniform products, it employs a lower voltage X-ray tube, ensuring precise inspection while optimizing energy consumption. Ideal for applications such as sliced cheese, candy bars, pastries, and dried fruits, this system balances price and performance without compromising on accuracy.
