In addition to detecting for contaminants, x-ray inspection offers multiple additional quality checks, including:
Whilst there is never a ‘one size fits all’ here are the 5 reasons we believe you should give x-ray inspection consideration over metal detection:
X-ray inspection systems can detect a wide range of physical contaminants including metal, stone, glass, certain plastics and bone, our high-resolution fish bone inspection system can detect bones as small as 0.2mm.
Best practice suggests placing your inspection system as close to the end of line as possible to manage a final product check. Remember, the more technical the processes the product has to go through, the more potential there is for contaminants.
X-ray systems can inspect virtually any packaging type, whilst metal detectors operate best with small packaging and bulk conveyed products. Naturally, products contained in metal film, foil packaging and tin cans are not suitable for metal detectors.
Depending on your product and packaging type we would recommend different styles of x-ray inspection. Large packaged cases and cartons for example, require a dual beam large format x-ray system can ensure that every aspect is carefully inspected.
Glass in glass inspection requires the right inspection alignment to ensure that even very thin shards of glass can be detected in thick glass bottomed jars.
Sapphire staff will check your product and packaging type and run product tests to ensure you have the right x-ray inspection advice.
X-ray is a type of man-made radiation, but one that is very well controlled by simply turning the x-rays on and off. X-ray generators are enclosed in steel cabinets and staff are further protected either by lead curtains or sloped conveyors to ensure x-rays are contained within the cabinet.
Research by the World Health Organisation confirms that food exposed to radiation levels 10 million times stronger than those used in food inspection remains unaffected and does not change its’ nutritional value.
There are a number of ways of looking at the crude financial figures for inspection, but the most fundamental to value against, is what the cost of recall to your business and brand would be?
Sapphire X-Ray systems have a very high reliability rate and with all the added product quality checks the value against returned items creates a strong argument for x-ray in your overall product quality requirements.

The Globus team at our Bankstown factory recently held a barbeque to support our farmers currently affected by the prolonged drought. 100% of the funds raised went to this very worthy cause.
Our fund-raising efforts were greatly assisted by the support of Fettayleh Foods and the Georges Hall IGA who donated supplies for use on the day. Thanks to everyone who helped organise the lunch and who assisted on the day.
After over 30 years of operating from the same factory in Seaview, Globus Group New Zealand has relocated to a new purpose-built factory and office premises in Hutt Park Road, Lower Hutt. The new location is only a short distance from our old site, so is convenient for staff, customers and suppliers alike.
The New Zealand Sales Manager Peter Ayson said the new premises will serve Globus and their customers well for many years to come. The new premises include a fully equipped workshop, a temperature-controlled storage facility and purpose-built production capabilities. The move took place in late June, and the site is already fully operational. Peter thanked all the New Zealand staff who assisted in making the move as smooth as possible and would welcome any customers who would like to drop in for a tour of the new premises.
Globus Group is pleased to advise that Peter Ayson has been appointed as the New Zealand Sales and Marketing Manager. Peter currently works in Auckland, but will be relocating to Wellington in October, and will start with Globus later that month.
Peter will be working with Michael Faure, the Group Sales and Marketing Manager, and the New Zealand Account Managers to grow New Zealand sales, and will also oversee the relocation of the Seaview operations to our new premises in 2018.
Peter joins Globus at an exciting time, and we believe he will be a valuable addition to the Globus team in New Zealand, and an asset for the business and our customers alike.
