A 360 View of Food Safety—From Food Processor to End User Novel solutions for detecting product contaminants at every angle of your process Food processors are constantly looking for ways to uncover unwanted product contaminates. Hard contaminates may cause rejects at the end-user level, missing items in their final package may lead to rework—all of which are causing food processors to invest in inspection technology for piece-of-mind, operational efficiency and brand building. In this webinar, we will highlight some of the current challenges with food safety techniques from the technology standpoint. Leaders in food processing equipment will review contamination opportunities throughout a typical processing plant; highlight current trends in inspection equipment; and present how a novel X-Ray Detection Machine has effectively addressed the needs of one poultry processor.

6. Why Inspect?
Source: ExpertRECALL
 Improved food safety
 Better quality control
 Reduce the potential
of a recall

7. Why Inspect With X-ray?
More consistent performance
• Fresh or frozen, wet or dry
• Not affected by humidity or other equipment
Can provide traceability
• System can auto-store images of every rejected product
• Facilitates, supports more detailed HACCP logs
Will detect more contaminates
• Bone, glass, metal, ceramic, dense plastic
Final package inspection
• Check weigh, clip detection, missing products, voids, etc.

8. What’s Driving X-ray Inspection?
Retailers demanding higher
quality
• Metal specifications are tightening
• Want to detect bone & other materials
Improvements in HAACP
standards
• Knowing what is entering your plant
• Respond to issues earlier in the process

9. What’s Driving X-ray Inspection?
Automated deboning is creating
more chips & splinters
• Greater potential for customer
complaints
• Protecting your and your customers’
brands
Potential premium for inspected
product

10. Where Can X-ray Be Applied?
Incoming product
• Trim meat or frozen blocks
• Detect bones or other contaminates

11. Where Can X-ray Be Applied?
Meat from a debone line
• Bone chips or fragments
• Fillets, tenders, legs, and thighs

12. Ground product
 After initial grind, prior to blend
• Before forming or packaging
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?

13. Marinated product
• Injected or tumbled – broken needles
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?

14. Individual packages inspection
• Bags or trays
• Check weigh & Foreign Material Detection
• Missing clips or voids in chubs
• Piece count or orientation
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?

15. Full case inspection
• Potentially replace
multiple MD’s or
checkweighers
• Final QA inspection
is made post
secondary packaging
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?

16. Application Examples
 2.0-3.0mm bones
in poultry breast
meat
 One customer was
able to reduce
bone count from
over 1,200 per load
to less than 4

17. Bone Fragments In Tenders

18. Stainless Glove Links In Thighs

19. Packaged Nuggets With Bone

20. Trim, Ground, Pumped Meat

 Metal Spheres –
0.5mm diameter
stainless steel
 Wire – 0.2mm
diameter by 2.0mm
long
 Glass sphere – 1.0 to

28. Evolving Detection Technology
Christopher Young,
Business Development Manager,

29. Technology
Conventional (traditional) metal detectors
vs. X-ray

30. Technology
Conventional (traditional)
metal detectors
• Established industry standard with
wide usage and low initial cost
• Metal only detection
• Strongly affected by application and
metal type

31. Technology
X-ray Highlights
• Excellent detection capabilities
• 2 basic product parameters:
• Density – Lighter, less dense
contaminants are harder to detect
• Thickness - Thinner product is easier
to inspect

32. Technology
Large format X-ray (case/carton)
• Excellent value proposition
• Replace multiple units with 1 larger system
• Strong metal detection capability
• Bone/Glass/Stone detection possible on
thinner products

33. Application
• Large format X-ray (case/carton)
• 17kg. Case (24”Lx15”Wx5”H) Pork
