In the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, we often hear about metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems used to detect foreign objects. But one small, common contaminant is often overlooked — human hair. So, can hair be detected by inspection machines? The honest answer is: rarely, and only in specific conditions. This article explains why hair is so difficult to detect, what current technology can (and cannot) do, and how manufacturers can manage this quality control challenge.  Why Is Hair So Hard to Detect? Despite being a frequent complaint from consumers, hair is one of the most difficult contaminants to detect during production. Here’s why: Non-metallic → Metal detectors can't pick it up Extremely low density → X-ray scanners can’t image it Ultra-lightweight → Weighing machines can’t detect changes Irregular and camouflaged → Hard for vision systems to spot, especially if it blends in In short: Hair is not metal, not dense, not heavy, and not obvious.  Can Detection Devices Catch Hair? Detection Method Working Principle Can It Detect Hair? Notes Metal Detector Electromagnetic sensing  No Only detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals X-ray Inspection Machine Density-based imaging  No Hair is too low-density to image Vision System (AI) Camera + Algorithm Analysis  Sometimes Limited to surface hair only Manual Visual Inspection Human eye  Yes Labor-intensive and prone to fatigue  How Can Manufacturers Minimize Hair Contamination? While no machine today can fully automate the detection of hair, manufacturers can reduce risks through a combination of prevention, control, and layered inspection:  Personnel hygiene: Hairnets, gloves, gowning procedures  Cleanroom standards: Air filtration, dust control, controlled environments  Manual checks: Visual inspection before and after packaging  Device support: Use X-ray and metal detectors for other foreign objects  AI visual systems: Can detect visible hair on product surfaces  Summary: Key Takeaways Hair is one of the most difficult contaminants to detect in food and cosmetics No current machine can guarantee 100% hair detection The most effective solution is prevention and multi-step control  Expert Advice from Shanan Technology With over 15 years of experience in inspection systems, Guangdong Shanan Technology understands your quality challenges. While hair detection remains difficult, we offer reliable X-ray machines, metal detectors, and tailored consultation to help you minimize foreign body risks.  For expert advice and solutions, contact us today: Guangdong Shanan Technology Co., Ltd.  www.foodgrademetaldetector.com  ruth@shanantechnology.com  Whatsapp/Wechat: +86 138 2728 2272

Ensuring food safety starts at the source. Cocoa beans, as the core raw material for chocolate and other cocoa-based products, are highly susceptible to foreign body contamination during harvesting, drying, transport, and storage. Common contaminants include stones, metal fragments, glass, and ceramics—posing a significant risk for manufacturers and exporters. Client Background Our client, based in West Africa, is a major exporter of cocoa beans with an annual processing volume exceeding 2,000 tons. Their main markets include Europe and South America, where food safety regulations are especially strict. Although they had previously relied on manual sorting and magnetic separation, they struggled to eliminate non-metallic foreign bodies such as small stones and glass fragments. Solution To address this challenge, we recommended our SA-X Series X-ray Inspection Machine, designed to detect a wide range of dense foreign objects in bulk cocoa beans. The system is equipped with a high-resolution X-ray generator and advanced imaging software, capable of detecting: · Metal fragments (iron, aluminum, stainless steel, etc.) · Stones · Glass pieces · Ceramic particles · Hard plastic debris To match the client’s bulk material handling process, we customized the machine with a sealed protective housing and automatic rejection system, ensuring efficient inline inspection without interrupting the production flow. Client Feedback After installation and testing, the client reported a significant improvement in detection accuracy, especially for hard-to-identify non-metallic contaminants. The rejection system reliably removed defective batches, reducing product complaints and minimizing risk during third-party inspections. “The X-ray system gives us greater confidence in our quality control. It has helped us pass stringent export inspections more easily, especially for the EU market.” Application Benefits · Wide detection capability: Detects both metallic and non-metallic dense contaminants · Non-contact inspection: No damage or contamination to cocoa beans · Flexible for raw materials: Suitable for both bulk and packaged cocoa · Improved compliance: Helps meet international food safety standards If you are looking for a foreign body detection solution for cocoa, nuts, or other raw materials, feel free to contact us for more information or a free sample test.

[July 2025 – News]   Recently, the Turkish Food Safety Authority issued a revised national standard for infant formula and follow-up formula, tightening requirements on ingredients, labeling, impurity control, and final product inspection. These new standards directly affect all manufacturers exporting infant food to Turkey. Among the changes, foreign body detection has become a critical compliance point, especially since infant formula allows zero tolerance for contaminants such as metal, glass, or plastic fragments. Traditional Metal Detectors Can’t Meet the New Requirements The new regulations demand not only precise metal detection but also the ability to identify non-metallic foreign bodies such as glass, bones, rubber, and hard plastics. This creates challenges for traditional metal detectors—and positions X-ray inspection as the more effective solution.   Shanan Technology’s X-ray Inspection System: Ready for the New Export Standards As a trusted manufacturer with over 15 years of expertise in foreign body detection, Guangdong Shanan Technology Co., Ltd. offers advanced X-ray inspection systems specially designed for sensitive products like infant formula. Key advantages include: Multi-type foreign body detection: Stainless steel, glass, ceramics, bones, stones, rubber, and more Compatible with various packaging forms: Cans, boxes, pouches, etc. High detection sensitivity: Detects contaminants as small as 0.3 mm Meets international standards: Including HACCP, CE certification, and more Real Feedback from Export Customers One of our clients from the Middle East, a manufacturer of infant formula, faced challenges passing inspections when exporting to Turkey. After integrating Shanan’s X-ray system, their product passed third-party testing with ease and achieved smoother customs clearance, ensuring stable supply to the market. Compliance is Not a Burden—It’s Brand Power Stricter regulations don’t just mean higher costs—they’re also a chance to upgrade product safety and build customer trust. At Shanan Technology, we are committed to helping food manufacturers stay compliant, protect their reputation, and ensure consumer safety.
