The Next Generation of X-ray Inspection

Bulk Applications

Safeline's bulk x-ray equipment for food inspection operates in industries such as meat, fish & seafood, fruits & vegetables, snacks, confectionery and pet food etc. Working in a wide variety of bulk-flow (loose) food products to improve quality control before they are packaged, (or added as ingredients to finished products) typical applications include nuts, grains and pulses, extruded snacks, dried fruits, cereals, vegetables, frozen seafood, minced meat and sweets.

Improved Sensitivity

X-ray inspection systems for bulk use are specifically designed for detecting unwanted contaminants like glass, metal, mineral stone, high density plastic, and calcified bone - regardless of their shape, size or location within the product. Contaminants are easier to detect in bulk-flow food than in final packaged products as they are typically inspected through a homogenous layer of product, hence the depth of the inspected product is much smaller than of a final closed-pack; making inspection up to four times more sensitive.

High Throughput Capabilities

A homogenous layer of product is achieved due the combination of a troughed belt and an adjustable levelling plate, maintaining a consistent depth of product, which is optimum when inspecting bulk products, providing customers with outstanding sensitivity. High throughput capabilities mean Safeline X-ray inspection systems can run at the customers’ existing line speeds, maintaining high production levels.

Saving Costs

Consideration should be given to the location of the bulk x-ray equipment on the production line. When placed early in the process, x-ray can inspect incoming goods or raw materials which enables contaminants to be removed at source and quickly traced back to the supplier. It also means that contaminants are removed before further value is added to the product; saving costs
