Cheese Block X-Ray Inspection Systems
Cheese Block X-Ray Inspection Systems are specifically engineered for the inspection of large-format cheese blocks commonly used throughout the dairy industry. Designed to inspect products weighing approximately 35-50 lbs (16-23 kg), these systems provide advanced contaminant detection and product integrity inspection capabilities that extend beyond the capabilities of traditional metal detection technologies. Combining high-powered X-ray imaging, advanced software, and a heavy-duty conveyor design, the system delivers reliable inspection performance for demanding cheese production applications.
Overview
Product Integrity Inspection
In addition to foreign material detection, Cheese Block X-Ray Inspection Systems can perform product integrity inspections to identify quality defects during production. Advanced software enables simultaneous inspection for contaminants and product quality issues, including:
- Broken corners or damaged block edges
- Hollow blocks or internal voids
- Liquid pockets within cheese blocks
- Improperly vacuum-sealed products
- Product breakage, displacement, and cracks
Features
- Purpose-built for large cheese block inspection with configurations optimized for blocks weighing approximately 35-50 lbs (16-23 kg).
- 480W high-powered X-ray generator provides superior penetration and inspection performance.
- Customized generator placement optimizes inspection sensitivity for large-format cheese products.
- Heavy-duty conveyor, roller, and motor configuration supports high product weights and continuous dairy production environments.
- Custom checkerboard conveyor belt provides increased load capacity and product stability during inspection.
- Supplemental protective curtains enable safe operation at maximum generator voltage.
- High sensitivity inspection performance – metal sensitivities to 1mm; gasket and glass sensitivities down to 3mm.
- High-throughput operation inspects up to 35 cheese blocks per minute while maintaining inspection performance.
- Supports products up to 50 kg (110 lbs) with customization options available.
- Automated contaminant detection identifies suspect products and can automatically remove rejected product when paired with an optional reject system.
- Customizable programming allows generator strength, inspection speed, and detection algorithms to be optimized for individual products and applications.
- User-friendly Windows-based software provides real-time imaging, simple program changes, and intuitive operation.
- Detailed production logging and reporting can be viewed through the HMI or exported via USB and Ethernet connections.
- Remote technical and programming support helps maximize uptime and maintain inspection performance.
- Password-protected operator and administrator access helps secure inspection settings and production data.
- 304 stainless steel construction with washdown-capable configurations available for demanding dairy processing environments.
- Built with proven industrial components from leading suppliers including VJT, Siemens, and Schneider.
