X-ray Inspection Ensures Perfect Sausages

Located in Sichuan, China, Chuanwei Food Co., Ltd. is a well-known manufacturer of Chinese-style cured sausages and other meat products. Since its establishment, the company has earned a strong reputation in both domestic and international markets for its high-quality products and strict quality control. Chuanwei Food is committed to blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to ensure that every sausage is safe, delicious, and free from foreign contaminants.

Problem: Aluminum Clip Residues in Sausages

During the sausage production process, minced meat is mixed with seasonings, stuffed into natural or synthetic casings, and sealed with aluminum clips. The sausages are then hung in curing rooms for up to two months to dry and ferment.

In the slicing and packaging stage, workers manually remove the casings and aluminum clips. However, in some cases, small aluminum clip residues may remain attached to the sausage, posing a serious food safety risk.

Previously, Chuanwei Food used standard metal detectors, but due to the high salt and moisture content of the sausages, strong product effects interfered with the accuracy of metal detection. To overcome this challenge, the company sought a more advanced inspection solution to ensure food safety and product quality.

Ultimately, Chuanwei Food chose Shan'an Technology’s X-ray inspection system to precisely detect aluminum clip residues and other contaminants in sausages.

Solution: X-ray Penetration Technology for Reliable Foreign Object Detection

Due to the high water and salt content in meat products, traditional metal detectors often suffer from false alarms caused by product effects. This phenomenon makes it difficult to accurately identify foreign objects.

To address this issue, Shan'an Technology’s X-ray inspection system was introduced. Unlike conventional metal detectors, X-ray machines use high-energy X-rays to penetrate products, allowing for the detection of a wide range of foreign objects, including:
*Aluminum fragments
*Stainless steel, iron, and non-ferrous metals
*Glass, stones, and hard plastic contaminants

Implementation at Chuanwei Food

To ensure optimal performance, Chuanwei Food conducted rigorous testing at Shan'an Technology’s technical center. The results demonstrated that the Shan'an SA-XR Series X-ray Inspection Machine offers the following outstanding capabilities:
*Aluminum fragment detection accuracy: 1.0-1.3 mm
*Iron and non-ferrous metal detection accuracy: 1.3-1.8 mm

Shan'an Technology provided Chuanwei Food with a fully automated X-ray inspection solution, including:

*SA-XR Series X-ray Inspection Machine – High-precision detection to ensure food safety

*Customized conveyor system – Enhancing inspection efficiency for smooth product flow
*Automatic reject system – Immediately removing contaminated products upon detection

Customer Benefits: Ensuring Consumer Safety and Enhancing Brand Competitiveness

With X-ray penetration technology, Chuanwei Food has achieved more efficient and precise foreign object detection, completely eliminating the risk of aluminum clip residues in sausages. This non-destructive inspection method ensures that every product meets strict food safety standards without affecting product quality.
