X-ray Inspection for Food Manufacturers

X-ray inspection technology has become widely used in the food and beverage manufacturing industries around the world over the past few decades. It is used as a means of detecting foreign material contamination, such as metal, glass shards, mineral stone and calcified bone. X-ray systems are also used to perform additional integrity inspections, such as to control portion size or fill levels, check seal integrity and detect packaging defects. Such inspection plays a vital role in maintaining compliance with a range of food safety legislations.
