| X-Ray Inspection - Large format Cases & Sacks |
|
Whether they are used to pack large quantities of products directly, such as cereals, vegetables and meat, or as a shipping container for smaller packages, cases and sacks are usually at the very end of the production line in a food processing plant.
Typical Applications
Safeline X-ray inspection systems are installed in numerous plants covering a variety of case and sack inspection applications. These include detecting contaminants such as stones in potato chips. Cases filled with packs of potato chips are systematically inspected. The inspection can also be used to identify hard lumps of product or seasoning in extruded snack food.
Since packing in cases and sacks is usually performed at the end of the production process, it is often viewed as the ideal inspection point. However, this apparent advantage must be weighed not only against the value of product likely to be rejected, but also the inevitably lower sensitivity of inspecting large quantities of products versus smaller items earlier in the production process.
X-Ray solutions
Because of the challenge of the size of these packs, Safeline has developed a specific system to handle cases and sacks: the InspireX R80.
