A food x-ray machine was recently hired by a dairy products supplier to locate metal parts from to be missing from a filling machine after the day’s production.
As the client did not have their own food x-ray system on-site, Accuweigh’s Melbourne branch provided hire of a x-ray machine to inspect the client’s entire day’s production output.
The client quarantined all products until each and every item was passed through Accuweigh’s XR-3000 Food X-Ray Machine. Although the dairy product was packaged in foil containers, the food X-Ray machine easily identified which containers were contaminated with metal components and at the end of the day each of the missing metal parts had been found and accounted for.
Accuweigh’s food X-Ray systems are able to scan items at very high speed and retain images of each item containing potential contaminants, including metal, bone, glass and some high density rubber/plastics. Another bonus feature of X-Ray Food Inspection machines is the ability to identify variances in mass, such as ensuring each packed carton contains the correct number of packaged objects within.
Accuweigh is the exclusive distributor of the XR-3000 series of Food X-Ray Inspection Systems manufactured in Australia by Applied Sorting in Melbourne and fully supported by Accuweigh’s branches in all mainland states.
