Why Inspect?
Source: ExpertRECALL
Improved food safety
Better quality control
Reduce the potential of a recall
Why Inspect With X-ray?More consistent performance
• Fresh or frozen, wet or dry• Not affected by humidity or other equipment
Can provide traceability• System can auto-store images of every rejected product• Facilitates, supports more detailed HACCP logs
Will detect more contaminates• Bone, glass, metal, ceramic, dense plastic
Final package inspection• Check weigh, clip detection, missing products, voids, etc.
What’s Driving X-ray Inspection?Retailers demanding higher
quality• Metal specifications are tightening• Want to detect bone & other materials
Improvements in HAACP standards• Knowing what is entering your plant• Respond to issues earlier in the process
What’s Driving X-ray Inspection?Automated deboning is creating
more chips & splinters• Greater potential for customer
complaints• Protecting your and your customers’
brands
Potential premium for inspected product
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?Incoming product• Trim meat or frozen blocks• Detect bones or other contaminates
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?Meat from a debone line• Bone chips or fragments• Fillets, tenders, legs, and thighs
Individual packages inspection• Bags or trays• Check weigh & Foreign Material Detection• Missing clips or voids in chubs• Piece count or orientation
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?
Application Examples 2.0-3.0mm bones
in poultry breast meat
One customer was able to reduce bone count from over 1,200 per load to less than 4

What Can Be Detected?Calcified bones – >2.0mm thicknessMetal Spheres – 0.5mm diameter
stainless steelWire – 0.2mm diameter by 2.0mm longGlass sphere – 1.0 to 1.5mm diameterCeramic – 1.0 to 1.5mm diameter
TechnologyX-ray Highlights
• Excellent detection capabilities• 2 basic product parameters:
• Density – Lighter, less dense contaminants are harder to detect
• Thickness - Thinner product is easier to inspect
