The pie’s the limit
Loma Systems has completed one of the first installations of an X5 SpaceSaver x-ray inspection unit. Savoury pastry product manufacturer The Welsh Pantry is using the system to inspect its pie products for glass, ceramic and stainless steel contaminants.
The unit’s reduced size – it measures just one metre in length – is one of the key reasons why The Welsh Pantry chose this latest model for its plant. It is currently operating at speeds up to 35 metres per minute, but is capable of running up to 75 metres per minute.
Incorporating adaptive array technology (AAT), the unit promises market leading detection capabilities. The new technology tailors resolution, depth and scaling to give the best performance for any product requiring inspection. AAT eliminates the previous need to specify the diode array pixel size, as the X5 SpaceSaver will adjust to give ultimate detection performance for every product.
It can identify improperly packaged product for size, shape, length, fill level, component count and presence; all essential quality control elements for food processors.
