Application case of bulk X-ray machine in the food industry

As an advanced detection equipment, bulk X-ray machines are gradually being widely used in the food industry

x-ray for bulk
1、 Quality and safety challenges in the food industry
The food industry involves people’s daily lives and has very high requirements for the quality and safety of food. During the food production process, various foreign substances such as metal, glass, stones, etc. may be mixed in. These foreign objects not only affect the taste and quality of food, but may also pose a serious threat to consumers’ health. In addition, for certain specific foods such as meat, fruits, etc., it is necessary to accurately detect their internal quality issues, such as spoilage, pest infestations, etc. Traditional detection methods often have problems such as low efficiency and poor accuracy, which cannot meet the needs of the modern food industry.
2、 Advantages of Bulk X-ray Machine
1. High precision detection
The bulk X-ray machine utilizes the penetration characteristics of X-rays to perform high-precision detection of foreign objects in food. The detection accuracy of metal foreign objects can reach millimeter level, and it also has high detection ability for non-metallic foreign objects such as glass and stone. At the same time, bulk X-ray machines can also detect the internal quality of food, such as meat spoilage, fruit pest infestations, etc., providing strong guarantees for the quality and safety of food.
2. High speed detection
The bulk X-ray machine can quickly detect a large amount of food without the need for pre-treatment, and can be directly tested on the conveyor belt. Its detection speed can usually reach tens or even hundreds of tons per hour, greatly improving the efficiency of food production.
3. Automated operation
Bulk X-ray machines are usually equipped with automated control systems that can achieve functions such as automatic detection and automatic removal of foreign objects. Operators only need to monitor in the monitoring room, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.
4. Safe and reliable
The bulk X-ray machine will not cause any damage to the food during the inspection process, nor will it pose a radiation hazard to the operators. The equipment usually adopts advanced protective measures to ensure that the radiation dose is within a safe range. At the same time, the stability and reliability of the equipment are also high, and it can operate continuously for a long time, providing continuous testing services for food production.
3、 Practical application cases
A large food processing enterprise has been facing the problem of foreign objects being mixed in during the production process. Traditional methods such as manual screening and metal detectors are not only inefficient, but also unable to completely remove all foreign objects. To solve this problem, the company has introduced a bulk X-ray machine.
After installing the bulk X-ray machine, the enterprise conducts real-time detection of the bulk materials on the food conveyor belt. Through high-resolution images from X-ray machines, operators can clearly see various foreign objects in food, including metals, glass, stones, etc. When a foreign object is detected, the equipment will automatically sound an alarm and remove it from the conveyor belt through a pneumatic device.
After a period of use, the company found that the effect of the bulk X-ray machine was very significant. Firstly, the removal rate of foreign objects has been greatly improved, and the quality of the product has been significantly enhanced. Secondly, by reducing the damage of foreign objects to production equipment, the maintenance cost of the equipment has also been significantly reduced. In addition, the efficient detection capability of bulk X-ray machines has also improved the production efficiency of enterprises, bringing considerable economic benefits to them.
