Canada’s Zinetti Foods has installed Mettler-Toledo Safeline’s new X33 x-ray inspection system to ensure food safety.
This next-generation X33 features a new 20-watt x-ray generator compared to the 100-watt generator on previous systems that claims to reduce power use and energy costs while maintaining the same high detection sensitivity.
With its redesigned styling, X33 is said to enhance sanitation and also ease use with its new graphical user interface.
X33's outstanding detection sensitivity helps in identifying metal, glass, bone, stones and other dense foreign material, allowing the system to remove contaminated products from the production line.
Zinetti Foods selected X3302, the one wider than the standard X33 as it could handle their full range of products. With its 400-mm wide belt, the X3302 can inspect Zinetti's large 2.27 kg family size meals as well as their small 300 g single serve meals.
Zinetti Foods, HACCP Coordinator, Azin Kad said "The touchscreen is very easy to use. Our operators like the icons and the product lists and images. They find this x-ray system very straightforward. And we like the different levels of password protection. An operator can't create or delete a product. Our engineers and QA personnel are allowed deeper access into the controls."
