In-Line Contamination Detection For Poultry Manufacturers

Poultry X-ray Infeed and Reject Systems offer processors an inline contamination inspection system with a reject and return facility. This system offers much more reliable and consistent results than manual inspection, resulting in consistent product quality and ultimately protecting your brand.

• The trim/waste is dropped into a hole in the table into a crate. An optional trim takeaway conveyor can be added if required.
• Trimmed product is placed by the operator on the top tier on a blue link belt to guarantee accurate spacing going into the x-ray.
• The product is x-rayed to detect bone fragments or foreign body contamination.
• If a contaminant is detected a signal is sent to the reject unit activating the retractable belt.
• Rejected product is dropped onto the reject return conveyor and delivered back to the operators for rework.
