Dried Fruit Manufacturer Enhances Foreign Body Detection with SHANAN X-ray Inspection System

Background

A dried fruit processing company, specializing in raisins, blueberries, and mango slices for export markets, sought to strengthen its foreign body control program. With increasing global requirements for food safety and quality assurance, the customer needed an advanced detection system to ensure product integrity, especially for products destined for Europe and Southeast Asia.

Customer Challenge

The customer required a solution capable of detecting a wide range of contaminants beyond metal, including dense foreign objects commonly found in dried fruit processing. Key requirements included:

• Detection of multiple types of foreign bodies

• High stability for uneven-density products such as dried fruits

• Continuous automated inspection and rejection

• Compliance with export food safety standards

Solution Provided

SHANAN recommended its food-grade X-ray inspection system, using advanced penetration imaging technology to identify foreign materials based on density variation. Test samples included raisins and mixed dried fruit products.

The X-ray system demonstrated the ability to detect:

• Metal fragments

• Glass particles

• Stones and sand

• Hard plastics and bone fragments

The system’s smart imaging algorithm identified abnormalities in real time and automatically rejected defective products, minimizing manual errors.

Test Results

During the test, the machine successfully identified multiple simulated contaminants within the dried fruit samples. Performance results included:

• Accurate detection across multiple foreign body types

• Stable operation with high throughput

• Compatibility with existing processing line

• Compliance with export safety requirements

Customer Feedback

"The density of dried fruits varies a lot, and we were concerned about false alarms. After testing, the performance exceeded our expectations and provides strong support for our export quality control."
