Product Description
Food Industry X-Ray Inspection Machine
Product Safety and Quality Assurance for Packaged Food
Safeline X-ray systems ensure maximum contamination detection sensitivity and high throughputs for a diverse range of food applications in various types of retail packaging. Typical packaged applications include foil and plastic containers, cartons/boxes, foil pouches, bags and sacks, trays, tubes, sachets, flow-wraps, PET bottles and blister packs.
Contamination Detection:
X-ray systems for packaged product inspection deliver outstanding contamination detection of contaminants like glass, metal, mineral stone, calcified bone and high density plastics irrespective of their size, shape or location within packaged products. Safelines x-ray systems can find metal contaminants even in foil or metallised film packaging. Unlike traditional inspection systems, our machines are not affected by changes in product temperature or moisture, thus ensuring minimum false rejects.
Product Quality Checks:
Safeline X-ray inspection equipment can simultaneously enhance productivity by inspecting products for a range of quality control checks. These include: measuring gross and zoned mass; counting components; identifying missing or broken products; monitoring overall and zoned fill levels for portion control to protect profitability; inspecting seal integrity and checking for damaged products and packaging for complete product integrity.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership:
Safeline X-ray inspection systems for packaged food and pharmaceutical products are the most advanced development in inspection capability. They offer an energy efficient and adaptable solution available with a range of power options; some models do not require a cooling system due to low power consumption, contributing to a reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for customers. Safeline X-ray systems for packaged products are the most energy efficient systems on the market for food manufacturers.

FAQs of Food Industry X-Ray Inspection Machine:
Q: How does this X-Ray inspection machine detect contaminants in food products?
A: The machine uses advanced X-ray imaging technology to identify and distinguish contaminants such as metal, stone, glass, bone, and plastic within processed foods, bakery products, dairy, frozen foods, and packaged goods. The system highlights inconsistencies based on density differences, ensuring accuracy regardless of product shape or packaging.
Q: What types of food products can be inspected with this machine?
A: This X-Ray inspection system is suitable for a wide range of food applications, including processed foods, bakery items, dairy products, frozen foods, and packaged goods. Its adaptable conveyor and customizable sensitivity allow inspection of various product sizes and types.
Q: When should the X-Ray inspection machine be installed in the production line?
A: For maximum effectiveness, the machine should be installed inline during the final stage of production or packaging, just before dispatch. This placement ensures any contaminants are detected and removed before the products reach the market.
Q: Where is data from the inspection process stored and how can it be accessed?
A: Inspection data is stored internally and can be exported via USB or through Ethernet connectivity. This allows for easy integration into existing quality control systems and provides detailed records for compliance documentation.
Q: What is the process for rejecting contaminated products?
A: If a contaminant is detected, the system activates its automatic pusher/rejector to efficiently remove the affected package from the conveyor line. The process is further supported by audio and visual alarms to alert operators immediately.
Q: How do I benefit from using this X-Ray inspection machine in my facility?
A: Implementing this machine enhances food safety, protects your brand reputation, and ensures compliance with international safety standards. The systems high processing speed, robust data handling, automatic rejection, and stainless steel construction offer reliable performance and hygiene in demanding food industry environments.
