Ishida Europe will be demonstrating a new range of X-ray inspection systems at AUSPACK 2017 to help food manufacturers and processors comply with global safety standards.
The X-ray (IX) series is easy to use and maintain, according to the company, and the system prevents a contaminated product reaching the consumer in the event of a power outage or breakdown.
All models offer sensitive foreign body contaminant detection, and the ability to identify damaged and missing products or components.
The range includes three advanced X-ray systems:
- The IX-EN series. This suits manufacturers seeking an affordable but accurate entry-level inspection solution. It offers a strong ROI for manufacturers of uniform products such as bread, dried fruit, sliced cheese, yoghurt, pastry, and confectionery.
- The IX-GN series. This series can detect pieces of stainless steel as small as 0.3mm in diameter, plus aluminium, glass, stones, rubber, dense plastic, and shells. At high speeds, it is suitable for a variety of packed and unpacked products.
- The IX-G2 series. This series is for processors and manufacturers of complex products including poultry, meat, vegetables, and cereals. It provides X-ray detection of low-density objects, from shells and stones to chicken bones, even in varying thickness or overlapping products.
Both the GN and the EN ranges use Ishida’s patented Genetic Algorithm (GA) image processing to deliver accurate inspection.
Ishida's X-ray (IX) series is available in Australia from Heat and Control. The range will be on show at stand 72 at Auspack.
