  X-ray machines have been a revolutionary technology ever since they have been used to save lives in the medical field. The same X-ray technology can be used to help detect anomalies in a production line. The food industry has almost internationally adopted X-ray inspection due to its non-invasive nature, speed, and reliability. If you are wondering how a piece of medical tech finds its place in the food industry, let us dive deeper into the operating principle of a typical X-ray scanning machine:   1.      The X-ray emitter: A source of radiation like a bulb produces the radiation in an X-ray inspection machine. The bulb is enclosed inside a protective cover to ensure the radiation does not leak out from the machine.   2.      The conveyer belt: The inspection machine uses a conveyer belt to carry the food items through the radiation inside the machine. The conveyer belt of the X-ray machine can be used as part of t...

  The packaged food industry has played a vital role in ensuring reliable access to food. Australia is a key player in the global processed food market accounting for a sizable chunk of the packaged dairy and meat industry. The scale of the food industry and the repercussions of a compromise in the quality of products can be fatal for any company looking to operate in this sector.   Ensuring food safety is not only a preference but a necessity in the packaged food industry. Contaminants like steel, aluminium, and other metals may make their way into the final product. Detecting the contamination in the finished goods is practically impossible for human eyes. To combat these quality control challenges, a factory must be equipped with state-of-the-art food processing metal detectors and scanners.   The processed meat market in Australia surpassed USD 5 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow annually at 3.29%. The global processed meat market stands at over USD 600 b...
