DETECTING FOREIGN SUBSTANCES

Filtec’s Foreign Object Detection (FOD) system delivers crucial quality assurance for cheese, yogurt and dairy beverage production — spotting contaminants like metal, glass, stone and hard plastic inside filled bottles, jars or cans. With multi-view X-ray scanning and inclined ray tubes, it excels at detecting hidden hazards near container edges, the company says. High-speed, high-resolution imaging ensures thorough inspection at line speeds, while integrated finger rejectors enable swift removal of defective units. This system enhances food safety, supports regulatory compliance, safeguards brand reputation, and helps avoid costly recalls — all while keeping cheese, yogurt and dairy beverages flowing efficiently, the company says.

DUAL ENERGY X-RAY INSPECTION 

The X52 Dual Energy X-ray inspection system from Mettler-Toledo completes its X2 Series. Designed to meet the demands of challenging applications in packaged products, the X52 sets a new standard in detection capabilities since its proprietary software provides increased adaptability by easily transitioning between single energy, dual energy or both modes, the company says. This optimizes the system’s performance and increases efficiency and accuracy by seamlessly detecting foreign body contaminants while simultaneously completing a broad range of quality assurance checks. Through its advanced technology, the X52 significantly reduces false rejects, distinguishing between genuine contaminants and product variations with ease. This precision minimizes unnecessary production halts and reduces unnecessary downtime.
