Fruit Gourmet Leaves Nothing to Chance with Ishida X-Ray May 9, 2017 Fruit, News, Produce Fruit specialist Fruit Gourmet has selected an Ishida X-ray inspection system from Ishida Europe for enhanced quality control. The decision to install the Ishida machine follows the success of Ishida multihead weighers at the site. Fruit Gourmet supplies a variety of fruits including prunes, apricots, figs, grapes, mangoes, strawberries, raspberries, apples, blueberries, bananas and cranberries, sold to the consumer as cooking ingredients and as healthy snacks, packed in bags as well in bulk. The Ishida IX-GA-2475 X-ray model is being used for the inspection of bulk streams of the fruit pieces. The Ishida X-ray inspection system, already highly sensitive, can be set to even higher levels of sensitivity for the contaminants that have historically been known to occur in such agricultural products, such as minute particles of glass, stone or buckshot. One aspect that particularly appealed to Fruit Gourmet was the Ishida’s evolutionary image processing software which enables the operator, without any special training, to automatically generate the optimal sensitivity setting for each inspected product. The adoption of X-ray technology continues Fruit Gourmet’s relationship with Ishida, which began in 2014 when it was decided to create a new packing line for bagged products with target weights of 50 to 500g. www.ishidaeurope.com Author Recent Posts Food & Drink NewsOne of the leading voices in the Food & Drink industry for 20 years.
