Food Safety and Quality Assurance for Food in Metal Cans
Ideal for the inspection of composite cans/cartons/tubes, plastic and metal containers using a single x-ray beam (20W).
Suitable for composite cans/cartons/tubes, plastic containers and doypacks using a single x-ray beam (100W / 400W).
A split-beam (100W / 400W) x-ray system designed to inspect metal, glass and ceramic containers.
Safeline’s canned food x-ray inspection systems provide superior contamination detection for manufacturers producing food, beverages and pet food products packaged in a wide variety of metal cans. Inspection solutions are available for all shapes and sizes of cans, plus numerous tinned applications. Typical applications are baby food, ready meals, fish and seafood, meat, fruit and vegetables, pet food and beverages.
In addition to providing unsurpassed contamination detection, Safeline’s canned food x-ray inspection systems provide quality assurance by performing a variety of product and presentation checks. X-ray inspection systems are able to simultaneously perform a wide range of in-line checks such as monitoring fill levels, measuring headspace and detecting container defects, whilst ensuring reliable contamination detection at high line speeds.
X-ray systems detect glass, metal, mineral stone, high-density plastic and calcified bone within metal canned products. However, detecting contaminants that are located on the base or side walls of cans, especially if the can has side wall ribbing, can prove challenging. Safeline’s split beam x-ray system overcomes this by imagining every can twice. Each image represents a different viewing angle, increasing the coverage for inspection inside the container and the probability of contaminant detection.
Canned food x-ray inspection systems simply straddle existing production conveyors and take up minimum line space. This provides a quick, easy and cost-effective installation without the creation of additional product transfer points. By ensuring the safety and integrity of food-filled cans, Safeline’s x-ray systems help avoid product recalls, protect consumers from non-conforming goods and safeguard brand reputations.
