Matthiesons’ fresh desserts get X-ray inspection
Mathiesons operates six production lines at its British Retail Consortium (BRC) accredited production facility in the Larbert, Scotland. The new X5 Spacesaver X-ray machine it purchased from Loma Systems is used for inspecting fresh cream products for contaminants at speeds up to 1,500 packs an hour, and complements two Loma metal detectors already in use at the site.
“It is also important that we harness technology that is future proof and keeps up with changing BRC standards and retailer codes of practice,” says Mathiesons’ md Nick Wills. “Loma’s X5 Spacesaver offers 25% improved detection performance, 20% smaller footprint than similar machines and ultra-hygienic design for quick clean and low maintenance.”
The X5 Spacesaver features ‘adaptive array technology’, which tailors resolution, depth and scaling to optimise inspection performance.
Capable of operating at line speeds up to 75m a minute, it detects and rejects foreign body contaminants such as bone, metal fragments, glass, stones, bone, plastics and ceramics.
