Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has launched the DXD and DXD+ dual energy detector technology to detect low density contaminants in packaged food products.
It is optimised for identifying foreign bodies such as calcified bone, low-mineral glass, rubber and some plastics, and particularly suited to packs of pasta, chicken breasts, sausages and frozen potato-based goods.
Additionally, the firm said its new Advanced Material Discrimination software is designed helps to separate and remove the prominent material of the food product within the x-ray image.
Gareth Jones, head of engineering for Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection, said: “This is truly cutting-edge technology, that meets a real demand in the market for x-ray inspection capable of detecting low-density contaminants in a wide range of packaged food products.
“The benefits are both economic and reputational: they can better protect the integrity of their products and their brand, while also reducing cost and wastage through improved False Reject Rates and less product throwaway.”
