A leading turkey meat processing company was facing increasing pressure from retailers and international food safety standards to ensure every packaged product was free from foreign contaminants.
Their production line processes thousands of packages of fresh and frozen turkey products every day, including:
Although the company had implemented strict quality control procedures, traditional metal detectors were unable to detect many non-metal contaminants hidden inside dense meat products.
The manufacturer needed a more advanced inspection solution that could guarantee product safety while maintaining high production efficiency.
The customer wanted to detect:
Additional requirements included:
After evaluating several inspection technologies, the customer selected the SHANAN Food X-Ray Inspection System.
The system was installed directly after the packaging machine and before carton packing, allowing every finished product to be inspected automatically.
The SHANAN X-ray system successfully detects:
Ferrous Metal
Non-Ferrous Metal
Stainless Steel
Glass
Bone
Stone
Dense Plastic
Even contaminants hidden deep inside thick turkey meat can be identified accurately without damaging the product.
Since installing the SHANAN system, the customer achieved:
Every package is inspected before shipment, significantly reducing the risk of contaminated products reaching consumers.
Foreign object complaints have been greatly reduced, helping protect the company's brand reputation.
Automatic inspection eliminates manual checking while supporting high-speed production lines.
Intelligent image processing minimizes false rejects, reducing unnecessary product waste.
Inspection images, product records, alarm history, and production statistics can all be stored for quality audits.
The entire process is fully automated and requires minimal operator intervention.
After six months of operation, the turkey processing plant reported:
The customer also plans to deploy additional SHANAN X-ray inspection systems across multiple production lines.
