ISHIDA UNVEILS ‘NEXT LEVEL’ X-RAY INSPECTION SYSTEM
The latest addition to Ishida’s X-ray solutions is designed to meet the large-volume throughputs of modern poultry plants while being able to adapt to a wide variety of cuts. Its innovative Photo-Counting Dual Energy (PD) technology means it can reliably detect bone in fillets and other cut ups. Its twin-lane configuration can inspect breast, deboned thigh and inner fillets for the presence of wish, rib and fan bones as well as small foreign bodies such as steel wires.
The IX-PD-Poultry not only detects bone and foreign bodies but also reduces the probability of false rejects, therefore eliminating an otherwise costly and labour-intensive re-work process. If a contaminated item is detected, retracting twin belts return the product to the infeed system for operators to remove the bone or foreign body and re-feed it through the X-ray system
