Food Inspection: X-ray, Metal Detection & Checkweighing
Easyweigh inspection equipment protects food and pharmaceutical lines against foreign bodies and incorrect pack weights. The range, sold under the Foodman name, covers three technologies plus the test tools needed to verify them:
- X-ray inspection detects metal, glass, ceramic, stone, plastic and bone through differences in density, and also finds missing or broken products. Systems are available for packaged goods, loose bulk products, upright cans and jars, pumped products in pipelines, bones in poultry and meat, fishbones, inline fat analysis, and vision inspection of labels and seals.
- Metal detectors find ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel contaminants on conveyors, in free-falling powders and granules, and inside aluminium-foil packs. They are pre-calibrated and do not need daily calibration after set-up.
- Checkweighers verify every pack against its target weight, with accuracy from ±0.1 g, and are available as PC-based, high-speed, general-purpose, heavy-duty and weigh-and-label versions, as well as combined with a metal detector.
- Test cards with ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless steel, glass, ceramic and wire references are used for routine verification under HACCP, BRC and IFS programmes.
