From harvesting and washing to cutting, processing, and final packaging, fruit and vegetable production involves multiple contamination risks that can affect food safety, product quality, and brand reputation. Natural materials from the field, equipment wear, and packaging operations can introduce foreign objects into products. Understanding these risks is the first step toward building a reliable inspection strategy for safer and more efficient food production.
Metal fragments from harvesting equipment, cutting machines, conveyors, and processing tools can enter products during handling and packaging. These hidden contaminants may create food safety risks and lead to product recalls or production losses.
Raw fruits and vegetables may carry unwanted materials from agricultural environments, including stones, glass, and other dense foreign objects introduce during harvesting, transportation, or processing.
Continuous operation of washing, cutting, sorting, and packaging equipment can cause components to wear down. Loose screws, metal shavings, and broken parts may enter products and affect final product safety.
High-moisture products such as fresh vegetables and fruits can create product effects that interfere with metal detection, leading to false rejects, unnecessary waste, and reduced production efficiency.
Detect metal contaminants, identify foreign objects, and ensure accurate weight control with integrated inspection solutions designed for safer and more efficient fruit and vegetable processing.
Detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants from processing equipment, packaging operations, and foreign materials. COSO metal detectors provide stable inspection performance for fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, including challenging high-moisture products.
Detects dense foreign objects such as stones, glass, ceramic, and hard plastics that may enter products during harvesting, transportation, or processing. X-ray inspection also enables quality checks for packaged products, including missing items and product defects.
Designed for product dosing and packaging of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables. Using multi-head linear weighing and intelligent algorithms, it automatically calculates the optimal weight combination for each package, ensuring accurate bagging and boxing while reducing material waste
Customer Applications
A fruit processing facility faced contamination risks caused by foreign materials introduced during harvesting and processing. At the same time, high moisture levels and product variations created challenges for stable inspection performance, resulting in unnecessary rejects and production interruptions.
