Comparison and selection of food X-ray machines and food metal detectors
| Food X-ray machines and metal detectors each play an indispensable role in the food industry and safety inspection field. The following are their respective characteristics and the main differences between them: | |
 |  |
| Detectable | |
Metal, glass, ceramic, stone, hard bone, hard plastic, etc. Simply put, high-density objects. | Focus on metal detection: The main function is to detect metal objects, iron, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, etc. |
| Features | |
1. High-speed detection: With efficient computing and processing capabilities, it can realize rapid detection and meet the efficiency requirements of the production line. 2. Easy operation: The intuitive touch screen interface makes operation simple and convenient. At the same time, the function of automatically saving the inspection pictures helps to track and trace. 3. Rich extended functions: In addition to basic foreign body detection, it also has multiple functions such as multi-point omission detection, defect detection, shielding segment detection, etc., which can comprehensively improve the product quality control level. 4. Green and environmentally friendly: All accessories meet the requirements of the food industry, and the radiation leakage also meets the relevant international standards to ensure safe use. | 1. Mainly used for cutting, rubbing, drilling, and even accidentally dropped screws and nuts during production and processing. And fish hooks in the fish's mouth, etc.
2. Economical: high cost performance . |
| Limitation | |
1. It has a certain degree of operational difficulty. 2. There needs to be a basis for protection against ionizing radiation. | 1. Not applicable to products packaged in aluminum film. (Magnetic induction metal detectors can be considered, but they are limited to detecting magnetic metals such as iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. and their alloys) 2. For wet, fresh, and highly conductive products containing salt water, the detection effect is poor or difficult. |
| Principle | |
Food X-ray machine uses X-ray to conduct perspective inspection Depends on product density difference | Metal detectors are based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Depends on product conductivity |
Summary: When selecting equipment, other factors should also be considered, such as equipment stability, reliability, ease of operation, after-sales service, etc. In addition, it should be ensured that the selected equipment complies with relevant regulations and standards to ensure food safety and compliance.
