Nowadays, the global market is in an increasingly fierce competition, and the importance of maintaining a strong relationship between food manufacturers and retailers is unprecedented. As consumers continue to pay close attention to food safety issues, retailers need manufacturers to provide high quality food. Before the food arrives at the supermarket shelf or for sale, the manufacturer must conduct food testing and remove any potential contaminants such as glass, metal or ore. Therefore, it is critical for manufacturers to find reliable ways to ensure food safety, improve food quality, and minimize the risk of food contamination from foreign materials.

X-ray foreign matter detection technology can detect physical contaminants that should not be present in all types of packaging, such as calcified bone, glass shards, metal fragments, ores, dense plastics and rubber compounds. Accurate detection under rapid production conditions, regardless of the shape or location of the foreign object. Since X-ray foreign matter detection technology can test the entire product, multiple additional tests can be performed simultaneously to ensure food safety and product compliance.

X-ray inspection technology can also effectively detect the presence of missing items in primary or secondary packaging. In the primary packaging, X-rays can be used to count sausages to ensure that the correct amount in each package, as well as to check for the presence of promotional gifts in the cereal package, and to identify the presence or absence of plastic scoops in the infant formula container. In the secondary package, the X-ray inspection system is installed at the end of the line (before dispensing) to check and determine the correct number of primary packages in each package. Any under or excess product can be detected by the X-ray image of each package (even if it is packaged again).

The foreign matter body detector developed by Nikken Technology is a fully automated food quality control system using X-ray imaging technology. By detecting the internal transmission of food, foreign objects such as metals, stones, glass, bones and higher density plastics are detected. Simultaneously perform a number of different functions, such as the detection of shape, weight or internal defects. Even detecting foods that contain high-humidity foods or packaging materials that contain metal is not a problem. Advanced X-ray inspection technology solutions also ensure that detection sensitivity is fully optimized.
