The Is<strong>hi</strong>da x-ray is able<br />
to spot product in the seal<br />
area and at the same time,<br />
can also detect any unwanted<br />
foreign bodies, in particular<br />
small metal parts. The system<br />
featu<strong>res</strong> two separate reject<br />
bins, one for foreign bodies<br />
and another for any seal<br />
defects.<br />
“Clearly, to find foreign<br />
bodies in the packs is<br />
essential, but being able to<br />
identify faulty seals before<br />
the pasteurisation process<br />
is a significant extra benefit,<br />
particularly in minimising<br />
product waste,” explains<br />
the company’s operations<br />
manager Filip Bonné.<br />
