Yet, the assessment of body fat is challenging and most methods used today have potential drawbacks. Similarly, for the same BMI the percentage of body fat is usually higher among Asian people compared to Western populations. For example, for the same BMI older adults tend to have a higher body fat percentage, and therefore health risk assessment using BMI is less accurate in individuals >65 years of age. The definition of obesity is based on the body mass index (BMI) however, although BMI is, to some extent, correlated with the amount of fat, it is neither a specific marker of body fat nor a marker for abnormal fat accumulation. Obesity is a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases like type-2-diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, and accounts for a substantial proportion of disability-adjusted life years and mortality worldwide. And the fact that our X-ray inspection equipment finds even the smallest impurities in the product is another strong argument in our technology’s favour.Carolin Adler, Conceptualization, Formal analysis, Investigation, Methodology, Project administration, Resources, Writing – original draft, Writing – review & editing, # 1 Astrid Steinbrecher, Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal analysis, Funding acquisition, Investigation, Methodology, Project administration, Resources, Writing – original draft, Writing – review & editing, # 1 Lina Jaeschke, Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal analysis, Funding acquisition, Investigation, Methodology, Project administration, Resources, Writing – original draft, Writing – review & editing, # 1 Anja Mähler, Resources, Writing – review & editing, 2, ‡ Michael Boschmann, Resources, Writing – review & editing, 2, ‡ Stephanie Jeran, Data curation, Resources, Writing – review & editing, 1, ‡ and Tobias Pischon, Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal analysis, Funding acquisition, Investigation, Methodology, Project administration, Resources, Supervision, Writing – original draft, Writing – review & editing # 1, 3, 4, * Optimally adjusted, it is thus possible to achieve false rejection rates approaching zero, even with high product numbers and speeds. You benefit from reliable detection of a wide variety of foreign bodies such as electrically or magnetically conductive particles as well as glass, stones or plastic. Diode line and camera detectors with HD-TDI technology are used as sensors.
Our portfolio includes a wide range of air-cooled monoblocks or water-cooled metal-ceramic tubes with beryllium windows so that we can offer you exactly what you need for your individual process and your specific product. Your benefit: reliable detection of contaminated products and immediate removal from the batch. As a result, the products detected as defective during the inspection are removed from the current product flow using optionally available ejection mechanisms.
To allow us to guarantee the most accurate X-ray inspection food in your production, we have designed our technology so that it is inherently capable of creating the product gaps needed for the inspection. This makes the combination of X-ray inspection system and vision inspection the perfect solution for lightweight products such as mini cakes, biscuits or brownies. Another advantage: operation without curtains is possible. And what’s more, the positioning and readability of labels can also be checked accurately. In this case, you have added value since the information printed on the product is also verified. In addition to foreign body detection, this combination provides you with the best results of high-precision weight checking and simultaneous ejection of incorrect weight units.Ī combination of X-ray inspection systems and vision inspection system is the ideal solution if your product requires a vision inspection from above and/or below in addition to foreign body detection. With a maximum output of 300 packages per minute, you are always on the safe side, even in the multi-lane version. You notice it at the latest when you operate X-ray inspection and checkweigher via a common user interface.
All in all, you benefit from the extremely space-saving version of two perfectly complementary inspection technologies. In each case, X-ray inspection food forms the basis which we expand with the option of a checkweigher (SC-W), a vision inspection system (SC-V) or a checkweigher and vision inspection system (SC-W-V) – whatever you need. The innovation: a combination of two or three solutions. Particularly when there is little room, quality assurance still has to work as reliably and precisely as in large spaces.
