x-ray foodsafety enhancements for meat and poultry processors 2014
DESCRIPTION
A 360 View of Food Safety—From Food Processor to End User Novel solutions for detecting product contaminants at every angle of your process Food processors are constantly looking for ways to uncover unwanted product contaminates. Hard contaminates may cause rejects at the end-user level, missing items in their final package may lead to rework—all of which are causing food processors to invest in inspection technology for piece-of-mind, operational efficiency and brand building. In this webinar, we will highlight some of the current challenges with food safety techniques from the technology standpoint. Leaders in food processing equipment will review contamination opportunities throughout a typical processing plant; highlight current trends in inspection equipment; and present how a novel X-Ray Detection Machine has effectively addressed the needs of one poultry processor.

Why Inspect?
Source: ExpertRECALL
Improved food safetyBetter quality controlReduce the potential
of a recall
Why Inspect With X-ray?More consistent performance
• Fresh or frozen, wet or dry
• Not affected by humidity or other equipment
Can provide traceability• System can auto-store images of every rejected product
• Facilitates, supports more detailed HACCP logs
Will detect more contaminates• Bone, glass, metal, ceramic, dense plastic
Final package inspection• Check weigh, clip detection, missing products, voids, etc.
What’s Driving X-ray Inspection?
Retailers demanding higher quality• Metal specifications are tightening
• Want to detect bone & other materials
Improvements in HAACP standards• Knowing what is entering your plant
• Respond to issues earlier in the process
What’s Driving X-ray Inspection?
Automated deboning is creating more chips & splinters• Greater potential for customer
complaints
• Protecting your and your customers’ brands
Potential premium for inspected product
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?
Incoming product• Trim meat or frozen blocks
• Detect bones or other contaminates
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?
Meat from a debone line• Bone chips or fragments
• Fillets, tenders, legs, and thighs
Ground productAfter initial grind, prior to blend
• Before forming or packaging
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?
Marinated product• Injected or tumbled – broken needles
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?
Individual packages inspection• Bags or trays
• Check weigh & Foreign Material Detection
• Missing clips or voids in chubs
• Piece count or orientation
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?
Full case inspection• Potentially replace
multiple MD’s or checkweighers
• Final QA inspection is made post secondary packaging
Where Can X-ray Be Applied?
Application Examples 2.0-3.0mm bones
in poultry breast meat
One customer was able to reduce bone count from over 1,200 per load to less than 4

Technology
Conventional (traditional) metal detectors vs. X-ray
Technology
Conventional (traditional) metal detectors• Established industry standard with
wide usage and low initial cost
• Metal only detection
• Strongly affected by application and metal type
Technology
X-ray Highlights• Excellent detection capabilities
• 2 basic product parameters:• Density – Lighter, less dense
contaminants are harder to detect
• Thickness - Thinner product is easier to inspect
Technology
Large format X-ray (case/carton)• Excellent value proposition
• Replace multiple units with 1 larger system
• Strong metal detection capability
• Bone/Glass/Stone detection possible on thinner products
Application
• Large format X-ray (case/carton)• 17kg. Case (24”Lx15”Wx5”H) Pork
• 0.8 to 1.0mm SS Detection
• Bone/Glass detection capable
Application
Large format X-ray (case/carton)• 5# Bag (13”Lx15”Wx3”H) Par Fried
Nuggets• 0.8mm SS Detection
Application
Small format X-ray (chub inspection)• 1# & 2# Chubs (2.5” & 3” diameter)
• 0.7mm SS Detection
Application
Small format X-ray (chub inspection)• 1# & 2# Chubs (2.5” & 3” diameter)
• Clip detection – tracked and rejected separately
• Detects clips within the product and missing clips
TechnologyPipeline X-ray (pumped)
• High detection capability• Excellent for metal & bone – exceeds
customer’s requirements
• Requires a pump if not present already
• Not suitable for all products
• Easily cleaned/calibrated/tested
ApplicationPipeline X-ray (3” pipe)
• 10,000 #/hr. Pork • 0.5mm SS Detection
• 0.4mm diameter x 2mm long SS Wire detection
• 1.0 to 2.0mm Pork bone detection (calcified)
TechnologyDUAL X Highlights
• Developed specifically for bone detection
• Multiple x-ray energy levels enable comparative analysis
• The “right tool” for the job
Technology
DUAL X Highlights (cont.)• Same operator interface – auto setup, easy to
use/adjust
• 2mm bone detection (poultry) capable
Comparison
DUAL X vs. traditional X-ray• Poultry breast – 40mm thickness
ComparisonDUAL X vs. traditional X-ray
• Poultry breast – 40mm thickness
