For plant-based meat products, Minebea Intec has launched the Dypipe X-ray inspection system, equipped with a specimen insertion system that enables verification in live operation.

As plant-based meat alternatives are made from a variety of ingredients, unwanted parts such as shell remnants may end up in the products during raw material preparation.

To identify these tiny foreign bodies and remove the contaminated products, Minebea Intec offers a complete portfolio of X-ray systems for the inspection of packaged products.

Typical applications include car-tons, boxes, bags, pouches, trays and portion packs, which can contain a wide variety of dry or liquid food products.

The Dylight and Dymond models have been specially developed for these applications. They feature a hygienic design in accordance with EHEDG principles and high detection sensitivities with low power consumption.

For the high hygienic requirements in meat substitute applications, the Dypipe is equipped with an easy-to-open separator that has been specially developed for this purpose. This system guarantees results and gives the security of producing high quality food.
