Production Line Inspection Equipment

Production Line Inspection Equipment checking every step of the way. From formulation to packing and dispatch. Normally used after filling, the products will go through a number of checks to guarantee delivery of perfect goods every time.

Production Line Inspection Equipment – Checkweighers

Initially after filling, the products will pass through a dynamic checkweigher, this will automatically detect and reject over filled or under filled packages. Too many over fills can greatly effect profit margins, too many under fills and you risk falling fowl to retail fines.

Production Line Inspection Equipment – Metal Detectors

A metal inspection system is common place on food production lines. Identifying any product that has been exposed to the elements and any metal contaminated products rejected. However due to some complex packaging and extremely high standards set by the UK retail food industry,  X-Ray Food inspection systems are now the preferred inspection system at this point in the production line.

Food Contaminant Detection

Food Contaminant Detection, or inspection systems. Due to the amount of recent food product recalls. Food inspection systems and food traceability software are now a standard requirement in all areas from food production to food distribution.

Use the very latest technology in your food production line and there will be no need to worry about product recalls. Incorrectly programmed systems will lend them selves to failure. Rely on Bizerba to set up your production lines to ensure that it is done correctly and compliantly.

What Food Contaminant Detection is right for me?

A food detection system or inspection system. There are three main areas to look at. X-Ray Food machines. Vision inspection systems and Metal detectors. Using a combination of these will guarantee that all the products are perfect when they leave your premises.

However, you will not always need to incorporate all three inspection systems. Food containment detection can normally be done with only one system. Depending on the plant the food produced and the contamination risks within the plant.

One of the newest inspection systems Bizerba has developed is the new SealSecure inspection system. Used in conjunction with a checkweigher, the vision inspection system will detect and reject all and any packages that are not the correct weight. Over fill or under fill. Labelling incorrectly placed or damaged production items.

Watch the SealSecure Packaging Inspection video.

End Of line Inspection Equipment – Minimum Requirements

Additional inspection systems to be used with your inline checkweigher system is now a must. The minimum requirements now are that you have at least one X-Ray Food machine in place. Metal detectors have in the past been the norm, however they are not always able to identify and reject smaller particles of metal or other foreign debris.

Why not watch the latest video on how an X-Ray inspection system could ensure rejection of any defect products in your line.

End Of line Inspection Equipment – With Vision Inspection

A normal setup on a production line would be to have the filling machine, then the packing or seal machine. Then packages at a rate of 400 units per minute will pass through the dynamic checkweigher, for example the CWE Maxx. Then after checking move on through the X-Ray inspection system, all foreign bodies rejected. This can be a Dual lane inspection system so that the production line keeps up with demand.

Then onto the Vision inspection unit, the new SealSecure Vision inspection system. Or the LabelSecure vision inspection system . Checking packages from above and below. Systems will identify leaks in packages. Broken seals and incorrect or badly positioned labels.

Xray Food Inspection Explained

Xray Food Inspection Explained. Completely different from the medical radiation x-ray systems.

X-rays are used for many different purposes and it’s important not to confuse those used for food inspection with radioactive materials, such as uranium. Radioactive materials are physical sources of radiation, which emit radiation continuously and can’t be switched off.  By contrast, X-rays used for food inspection can be switched on and off, like light from a bulb. When the electricity supply to the X-ray system is switched off, the flow of X-rays ceases instantaneously.

In addition the amount of radiation omitted is minute, even if you stood under one of these units it would not pose any threat to health, no more x-rays are omitted compared to every day background radiation which is around us at all times.  X-Ray food systems are ideal for identifying contaminants including, bone, rubber, plastic and metals, the list is endless. Normally used with checkweighing systems offering you full control over your production line. “Checkweighing Explained”
