Dairy X-ray Inspection Systems

X-ray Inspection for Butter, Cheese, Milk, Yoghurt, Ice Cream, and Other Milk Based Products.

We understand that dairy manufacturers face fast production rates, stringent hygiene standards, and the threat of recall. Our x-ray inspection systems meet the highest hygiene standards and can be adapted to fit the requirements of your production lines with inspection options for loose dairy products, packaged dairy products, and liquid dairy items.

Through contaminant detection and various product conformity checks, x-ray systems can enhance product safety and quality, protecting your relationships with customers. The flexibility of dairy inspection that a Sapphire x-ray system provides is illustrated below (Dairy X-ray Applications).

Dairy X-ray Applications

Ensure product conformity and product completeness

Check product uniformity (e.g. check there is an appropriate distribution of fruit in cheese)

Confirm accurate fill-levels for liquid based dairy products such as milk and yoghurt

Verify seals and caps are on packaged dairy items correctly

Component verification (e.g. ensure yogurts with toppings contain both components)

Measure product mass (e.g. confirm blocks of cheese are cut accurately to meet a weight requirement)

Zoned mass inspection (e.g. ensure the correct mass on a tray of yoghurts)

Identify foreign objects such as metal, bone, glass, certain plastics, and other items

LET’S TALK

Why Choose X-ray Over Metal Detection for Dairy Items?

A dairy x-ray inspection system offers more sophistication than a metal detector because x-ray allows multiple inspections to be conducted by one machine, enhancing product quality and enabling detection of metal and non-metal contaminants.

End-of-line x-ray inspection is possible on packaged dairy goods, regardless of packaging materials; x-ray can inspect items with metal and foil packaging (whereas metal detectors cannot).
