From catching and raw material handling to processing, freezing, and final packaging, seafood production faces complex contamination and quality control challenges. Fishing equipment, processing machinery, and packaging operations can introduce unexpected foreign materials, while high moisture and frozen product conditions can make reliable inspection more challenging. Understanding these risks is the first step toward building a complete inspection strategy that protects consumers, improves compliance, and ensures efficient seafood production
Metal contaminants from fishing tools, knives, cutting equipment, conveyors, and processing machinery can enter seafood products during preparation and packaging. Broken blades, worn components, and metal fragments may create food safety risks and increase the possibility of product recalls
Seafood products may contain natural and processing-related foreign materials, including fish bones, shell fragments, stones, glass, and other dense objects introduced during harvesting, handling, or processing.
Continuous operation of cutting, filleting, deboning, and packaging equipment can cause components to wear over time. Loose screws, metal shavings, and broken machine parts may enter products and become hidden contamination risks.
High moisture content, salt content, irregular shapes, and frozen conditions can create inspection challenges for seafood products. These factors may affect detection stability and increase the risk of false rejects without suitable inspection technology.
Detect metal contaminants, identify foreign objects, and ensure accurate weight control with integrated inspection solutions designed for safer and more efficient seafood processing.
Detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants from processing equipment, tools, and packaging operations. COSO metal detectors provide reliable inspection performance for fresh, frozen, and high-moisture seafood products.
Detects foreign objects such as bone fragments, shell pieces, stone, glass, ceramic, and dense plastics in seafood products. X-ray inspection also helps identify product defects and quality issues in packaged seafood.
Ensures every seafood package meets required weight specifications by detecting underweight and overweight products. Precise weight control helps reduce product giveaway, improve production efficiency, and maintain consistent packaging quality.
Customer Applications
