A large, international food producer uses X-ray inspection systems to increase value creation in production. In addition to its high quality demands, this international food group has committed itself to the fight against food wastage. Following the principle, "What men eat must be pure," the company wants to ensure perfect product quality so that complete batches of food that may contain contaminations no longer have to be returned and destroyed, in turn reducing food waste. Such product recalls are expensive and — what is much more important — damaging to a company's image. In addition to comprehensive inspection procedures in every production stage, the measures also include the installation of product inspection systems in the packing lines prior to dispatch.
Food production has become increasingly automated. But, even when automated production systems are used, contamination can't be completely ruled out. This is where detection systems come in.
Customers and federal regulators expect more and more from food suppliers in today’s increasingly competitive and federally-monitored marketplace. New tools and technologies offer effective ways to meet those needs with easy implementation, reasonable costs, and immediate benefits.

While each process in the dairy industry starts with the same primary ingredient — milk — the end products, processes, and packaging vary greatly in terms of the best solutions for contaminant detection. The further the milk is processed, the higher the risk is of contaminants entering the production stream. This article offers guidance for detecting those contaminants in dairy products at every stage of production.
When the University of Wisconsin found it necessary to update their dairy mixing processes, they chose to update their system with the advantages and benefits offered by load cells over pressure gauges.
