Ishida launches x-ray inspection system for enhanced sensitivity

Packing and weighing solutions company, Ishida Europe, has launched a next-generation x-ray inspection system that detects foreign bodies when packing meats. The Ishida IX-G2-F incorporates a new line sensor that provides a high-quality x-ray image through an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. This has increased capability to detect bone fragments and low-density foreign bodies compared with previous x-ray models. The technology increases the ability of the machine to identify contaminants, in particular when handling thicker and denser products such as chicken fillets, chicken breasts and a wide range of poultry products. The enhanced sensitivity means there is a reduced risk of false detections, which helps to maximise throughput and avoid extra costs associated with unnecessary waste and the repacking of products. Sibtain Naqvi, Ishida Europe’s x-ray product manager, said: “The next generation IX-G2-F x-ray inspection system offers unrivalled performance and with its improved line sensor and software capabilities it has already delivered significant benefits on production lines". He continued: “The enhanced sensitivity provides poultry processors with even greater reassurance that their high product quality standards are being maintained and by minimising the number of false rejects, production can be maximised. We believe our IX-G2-F models represent another major advance in our x-ray inspection portfolio". The high-performance system is supported by Ishida’s self-learning genetic algorithm technology, which the company says delivers "maximum detection sensitivity and reliability".
