Using X-ray Inspection To Detect Faulty Popsicle Sticks
7/1/2021
Broken popsicle sticks generate bad impressions, or can even cause serious injury among consumers. Thus the detection of broken, flaked, bent or cracked stick is a vital challenge of ice manufacturers. This article covers a brilliant story of our X-ray inspection system development team worked together with a Japanese customer who is well-known in the market, on how they could significantly enhance the detection capability of the faulty sticks inside of cartons.

Checkweighing Solution For Unstable Products
7/1/2021
A food processor was having difficulty accurately checkweighing packages of nuts in PET jars in varying sizes. The design of the bottom of the jar was causing the jar to wobble when large speed changes are made at transfer points impact checkweighing accuracy. By installing a checkweigher that could control allow individual speed settings for each conveyor and stored settings for each product they could control the unstable product and allow for weighing accuracy.

X-ray Detection Of Stones In Bulk Blueberries
6/7/2021
Crops like berries often pick up unwanted stones or glass during harvesting. Because both stones and glass are lower density materials, they are challenging for most x-ray inspection systems to detect. Read how the Anritsu XR75 DualX uses dual-energy inspection to greatly enhance detection of lower density materials including the challenging glass and rocks. This technology enables reliable detection of these contaminants at low false reject rates – a true win-win solution for this difficult application.
