In the field of food safety, physical pollutants are the first and most important problem.  If metal, bone, plastic, glass fragments or any other foreign matter are allowed to enter the food supply chain, serious damage may result.  This is a major consideration for food manufacturers and X C Arm x-ray system supplier as they strive to ensure that pollution does not occur.

This is not just a matter of consumer health protection.  Product recall due to physical pollution is also a great reputation risk.  Food safety incidents will make national and international headlines. A widely spread accident may destroy a brand in a very short time.  In addition, there are more specific financial impacts: product recalls caused by physical pollution may cost tens of millions of yuan. If the company is found to have violated health and safety regulations, it may face huge fines.  In a word, physical pollution in food must be avoided at all costs.  However, we are still surprised to see that the pollution situation is continuously increasing.  Swiss Re’s report Globalized Food Safety1 shows that the number of products recalled in the United States in 2015 and the costs associated with these recalls have almost doubled since 2002.

More than half of the food recalls in the United States cost more than $10 million.  Some companies have lost more than $100 million in direct costs.  Moreover, according to a latest food recall strategy report released by Emerald Insight2, recalls usually trigger interlocking effects of the entire supply chain and industry ecology.  The situation is similar in other major markets.  Reports from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the Scottish Food Standards Agency (FSS) show that food safety incidents caused by foreign body pollution in the UK in 2016/173 increased by 7% compared with the previous year.

The increase in the frequency of such food safety incidents may be attributed to several main factors, in addition to a longer supply chain, a longer and more complex food production environment and more reporting methods.  Obviously, the increase in the number of such accidents is definitely a trend that double column digital x ray system company and processors have to reverse.

How can the danger of physical pollutants in food be prevented?

With the continuous improvement of living standards, the quality and safety of people’s food and daily use of industrial products also have higher requirements, and the state has correspondingly formulated strict safety inspection regulations and laws.  In order to better meet the relevant requirements and improve the detection level, the X-ray foreign body detector has also developed from the original single-view detection technology to a new multi-view detection technology, so as to provide more choices for customers with different needs.

With the penetration ability of X-ray foreign body detector, hard foreign bodies such as bones, plastics and various metal foreign bodies can be detected with higher sensitivity and stability, helping you to improve the quality of finished products more effectively.  Not only can foreign matters in foods (such as various meat products, aquatic products, fruits and vegetables, additives, milk powder, chocolate, etc.) be detected, including metals, glass, ceramics, stones, bones, plastics, etc.;  Can also identify product defects, such as packaging cracks, bubbles, content defects, etc.;  Complete finished 30kw mobile x-ray device factory is realized.  X-ray foreign body detector is widely used in food industry.  The pharmaceutical industry;  Textile industry, integrated circuit board and other industrial industries.  Quality control in the food industry meets HACCP and IFS requirements to identify product defects, such as product breakage, product deformation or product missing, and eliminate potential product quality hazards.

Fortunately, the development of product inspection technology has enabled UC ARM DR 50kw x-ray machine company to be detected now.  In a fast moving production line, metal, glass, high density plastic, ore, calcified bone and rubber contaminants can be easily found using equipment such as metal detectors and X-ray foreign body detector detection systems.  The accuracy of such equipment will be affected by many factors.  These factors may include the size and location of the contaminant, the density of the contaminant relative to the product to be tested, and the type of product packaging material used.

The type of food itself is also an important factor.  In many food production processes, raw materials arrive in liquid, pasty and pasty forms, and are mixed and blended after being pumped through a pipeline system.  There are many advantages in detecting pollutants in such foreign raw materials early in the 4kw x-ray device supplier.  Liquid, paste and paste are usually more homogeneous and easier to detect.  Pollutants are also larger and easier to find.  Early detection will also protect expensive processing equipment from further damage downstream;  And will eliminate pollutants before adding other production values, minimizing waste.

When detecting the pollution in unpackaged bulk materials and loose granular products, both the detection technology installed on the horizontal conveyor and the detection technology located at the gravity drop of products before processing or packaging are efficient ways to remove pollutants.  Typical bulk products that can use such detection methods include sugar, flour, grains, corn and beans;  Dehydrated fruits, nuts and vegetables;  Snacks and candy;  Meat, poultry, fish and seafood.  After processing and packaging are completed, the final product inspection at the end of the production line is the last line of defense to detect any foreign matter contamination before the product is transported to retailers and supermarkets.  In this environment, the type of 400mA DR x-ray machine factory and the type of potential pollution determine the type of product inspection system that should be used.

In fact, the most common cause of food recall is X 200mA DR x ray system factory (microorganisms and toxic substances), which mainly affects fresh foods, such as nuts and vegetables. There are many reasons for this type of pollution, including manufacturers’ use of contaminated water and unsanitary food processing practices throughout the supply chain. It is also one of the main reasons for the product recall that there is no declaration on the label of allergy products such as nuts or dairy products. These may be components of the product, or they may be cross-contamination formed by residues from mechanical processing or previous product processing procedures. There is no equipment to help food manufacturers detect biological contamination. The best way to avoid such accidents is to implement a strong health program.

Foreign bodies are the second most common cause of food contamination in Britain and the third most common cause in the United States. Foreign matter includes many different substances, including metal, plastic, glass and wood from production lines or packaging lines. Just because there are many kinds of foreign bodies, the nature of food pollution accidents is very different.

For example, a well-known U.S. meat supplier recently had to recall thousands of digital radiography x-ray system manufacturer for fear that it might have contaminated blue thread ends. It was found that this was because the cotton/polyester fiber mixture adhered to a production machine during routine cleaning. The company believes that some of these silk threads eventually entered the finished products and were all distributed to warehouses throughout the United States.

In another well-known accident, 500mA DR x ray system manufacturer of bread products in the United States voluntarily destroyed some well-known brand products, fearing that these products had contaminated glass fragments from a broken bulb in its baking equipment. The company announced the recall after receiving three consumer reports that small pieces of glass were found outside the bread. Although no injuries were reported, the accident was widely spread in many media channels.

Many similar incidents have taken place in Europe. A British bakery supplier recalled some meat and vegetable pie products from large chain retail stores such as Asda and Lidl7 due to concerns about glass debris contamination.
