For many processors of raw meat products, the fat content (a.k.a. chemical lean or CL) is one of the most important factors in need of control, whether that meat processor is selling ground meat or whole cuts.

X-ray inspection for products and packages is an incredibly versatile and accurate technology. These machines can check for contaminants, missing products, underfill/overfilled packages, and more in the blink of an eye, and with much greater reliability than the naked eye.

Controlling and limiting contamination risk during manufacturing is a critical step in any production process. Whether your facilities use x-ray inspection solutions or metal detection to assess product quality, there are still inherent risks for contamination along production lines.

In today’s production environments, product safety and the risks of contamination are more ingrained in operations than ever before. No matter what industry your company specializes in (food, beverage, pharmaceutical, etc.), the quality of your products is as decisive for your brand as the actual goods you create.

In September 2005, Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc., the second largest pistachio nut processor in the United States, sought to radically improve product quality throughout their facilities by eliminating foreign materials in their products. For this massive undertaking (Setton Pistachio’s main processing facility is well over 150,000 square feet, and gathers pistachios from over 5,000 acres of pistachio orchards), Setton Pistachio decided to do away with their conventional inspection tools, and instead turned to today’s innovative X-ray detection systems.

X-ray inspection technologies, which provide some of the most cost effective, thorough means for food and pharmaceutical inspection within production industries, use focused beams, image analysis and grey-scale scanning to detect irregularities within products.

Integrating high-powered x-ray inspection systems at critical control points (CCP) along your production line may be the single most productive thing you can do with your company’s quality control processes. X-ray inspection grants product manufacturers pinpoint accuracy they just can’t get with other conventional inspection methods… but how safe is exposing your products to x-rays?

Modern innovations in x-ray inspection technology make fully automated and lucrative detection a reality for manufacturers in any industry. These technologies bring more than just their “face value” (primarily, highly accurate inspection capabilities), but also great savings potential in efficiency, labor and mitigated product recalls.
