Food Inspection
Food inspection applications typically deploy a fan beam X-ray source and a linear array detector. LINX line scan XRT cameras detect and sort food and foreign objects across wet and dry belts transporting food at any speed.
As food safety regulations and smart factory automation turn into a competitive race to the top, X-ray technology has become an indispensable and essential tool in the food processing and packaging sectors.
The global food supply chain utilizes X-ray technology when quality control and assurance are crucial, and when significant gains can be achieved by maximizing yield. Sens-Tech’s market-leading OEM customers use single energy X-ray inspection technology for detecting small foreign objects, as well as for material separation and characterization.
When atomic density separation is necessary, Sens-Tech’s dual energy platforms generate two images: one for high energy signals and another for low energy. Such solutions enhance contrast between fish or chicken and their bones, down to the smallest sizes and lowest densities. This helps to increase yield and the value of the final product.
XDAS-powered LINX dual energy X-ray detection systems are also employed worldwide by industry leaders in red meat fat analysis, enabling wet meat processing lines to maximize yield and control the quality of fat content.
Sens-Tech sales engineers are eager to discuss any application, regardless of how challenging or complex it may be.
