Creating a ‘best-in-class’ contaminant detection strategy requires understanding the respective strengths and limitations of food inspection technologies. X-ray and metal detection both have the same quality control goal – detecting contaminants. Both have a place on food production lines, and when used together, they can strengthen food safety.
The decision to invest in X-ray or metal detection equipment on food processing lines is dependent upon a manufacturer’s requirements. Neither technology should be a replacement for good manufacturing practices. Rather, food contaminant detection units should always be selected based on operational needs and a risk analysis.
The most common high-risk contamination culprit remains metal. Contaminants can come from a multitude of sources, including:
X-ray is a density detection system, enabling the identification of contaminants like glass, ceramic and bone. However, there are certain metals an X-ray cannot detect in food products that a metal detector can. This includes lightweight foil strips found in PPE and very thin box blades.
To help users determine if a contaminant is detectable by an X-ray, food safety specialist Fortress Technology developed the infographic published below.
Other important risk analysis factors to consider include:
If, after product risk analysis processors consider that having an X-ray is necessary, providing space and investment spend allows it, have both. They are complementary technologies.
To assist with decision making, Fortress Technology offers food processors a service that tests products on both a metal detector and an X-ray. Customers are then presented with detailed reports and analysis to help inform CapEx decisions.
