X-Ray Inspection Technology Prevents Food Quality Variations For Snack Manufacturer

Making every bag of snack food look and taste as good as the last is a huge mass-production challenge. Random variations mean that sooner or later some bags will not match the standards set by the manufacturer. Luckily for Finnish snack-maker Chips Ab, X-Ray inspection has put absolute consistency within reach.

Finland's Number-One Brand Intends To Stay Number One
Finland's favourite brand of potato chips is Taffel. It's been the Finns' number-one brand since Chips Ab built Finland's first potato-chip factory on the island of Åland in 1969.

Like all successful food manufacturers, Chips Ab is driven by consumer needs and a fastidious attention to quality. "Continuous improvement is a way of life for us," says Christer Söderström, Technical Director and Factory Manager. "We monitor continuously. If a product doesn't live up to consumer expectations, we go back to the production line to find out why. Our rigorous approach has made us market leader in snacks within the Nordic and Baltic countries."
