Metal Detection Vs. X-Ray Inspection: What Food Processors Should Know
6/7/2016
Metal detection and X-ray inspection, traditionally, have been the first line of defense to identify foreign contaminants in food. For food quality and safety professionals, choosing a detection system is typically based on three things: the optimum detection point, overall application capability, and total cost/benefit. However, engineering and software improvements continue to set new standards of detection. This has led to some confusion regarding which technology to employ and why. This white paper intends to clarify which inspection technology will most benefit your company.

Building An Effective Product Inspection Program
2/1/2016
To be effective, X-Ray systems should form part of an all-encompassing, company-wide program that seeks to minimize foreign bodies and product defects in the first instance and, if they are detected, implements swift actions to prevent them reaching consumers. This white paper looks at how manufacturers can construct an effective product inspection program using X-Ray systems and, in doing so, explores the key elements and controls, responsibilities, attitudes, training, and documentation that underpin a successful and effective program.

Extended Applications Of X-Ray Inspection System Across Industries
1/22/2016
Quality inspection is an indispensable element of responsible manufacturing and packing of industry products. It is imperative to maintain high quality and ensure consumer safety with food and health products. Moreover, global food safety initiative (GFSI) requirements are not limited to the food or drugs/devices themselves, but also include their packaging. Therefore, any contamination of food and health products and their associated packaging with impurities of any type could have serious consequences for a company. Manufacturers have adopted different systems for contaminant inspection to prevent such problems.
