X-ray inspection boosts QC

A leading producer of frozen gourmet desserts, Montreal-based Martin Dessert recently upgraded its quality-control efforts by adding X-ray inspection equipment to detect foreign objects that might find their way into the product.

“A metal detector was no option, since 25 percent of our desserts are in aluminum trays or plates,” says company director Denis Martin.

After extensive comparisons among the systems available, Martin selected the Model X3 from Loma Systems. It’s located immediately after an automatic cartoner that’s used to carton each unit. Like others of its kind, the X-ray system can detect a variety of contaminants—gravel, glass, or stone—that metal detectors cannot, and it can find small pieces of metal within an aluminum tray.
