Ishida Europe – IX-GA: Superior Sensitivity

Sensitivity proven superior to that of other major X-ray detection systems

Ishida's IX-GA X-ray inspection system recently has been confirmed as the best product in an independent evaluation by a European Research Meat Institute.

Six major X-ray suppliers' detector systems were tested on two different unpacked meat products, both chilled to 4°C:

3.5kg pork belly
3kg pork loin

Each type was inserted with a random selection of contaminants, including two types of hard bone, six sizes of stainless steel wire, five diameters of stainless steel ball, four sizes of plastic pieces and six sizes of glass pieces. The test meat was run a number of times through each X-ray system.

Results

Two of the six machines failed to meet minimum inspection criteria and were eliminated. Of the four remaining machines, the Ishida IX-GA model came top in every test, showing a better rate of detection for all types of contaminants in both meat products.
