New Ishida X-ray offers enhanced sensitivity for difficult to detect items

Ishida Europe is launching its next generation IX-G2 dual energy X-ray inspection system which offers significantly enhanced sensitivities for the detection of low-density and difficult to spot foreign bodies , including bone .
The Ishida IX-G2-F incorporates a new line sensor that provides a high-quality X-ray image through an enhanced signal
6 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk to noise ratio which has increased the ability to detect bone fragments by a factor of four compared with previous X-ray models . This further increases the ability of the machine to identify contaminants , in particular when handling thicker and denser products such as chicken fillets , chicken breasts and a wide range of poultry products where they can often be overlapped or presented with uneven surfaces .
The enhanced sensitivity of the machine also greatly reduces the risk of false detections , which helps to maximise throughput and avoids the costs associated with unnecessary waste and the repacking of products .
