Sesotec X-ray for unpackaged and bulk food

Sesotec X-Ray for Unpackaged and Bulk Food

Sesotec RAYCON X-ray inspection systems for unpackaged products are designed for raw materials, bulk goods and individual food products before final packaging. They detect both metallic and non-metallic contaminants such as glass, ceramics, stones and other dense foreign bodies while the product passes continuously through the inspection system.

Depending on the application, RAYCON systems can be configured for high-throughput bulk-flow inspection, curtainless inspection of individual lightweight products, or hygienic Bulk Object inspection where individual pieces are analyzed separately.

High-Performance Foreign-Body Detection

Sesotec RAYCON systems can detect metallic and non-metallic foreign bodies based on their density difference from the inspected food product. Typical contaminants include:
Stainless steel and other metals
Aluminium
Glass
Ceramics
Stones
Bone fragments
Wire
Certain rubber and plastic contaminants

THiNK X for Difficult Unpackaged Products

AI-based THiNK XA anomaly detection is particularly interesting for unpackaged meat applications because conventional X-ray inspection can struggle to distinguish low-density bone or cartilage from heterogeneous fresh meat.

Hygienic Design for Raw Food Applications

RAYCON systems for demanding raw-food environments use stainless steel, food-contact-approved plastics and open modular construction. Hygienic versions reduce dead spaces and allow easier access for cleaning, while the HX LW/BO configurations use IP69 components and curtainless designs.
This is particularly relevant for meat, poultry, fish and other unpackaged products where regular intensive wet cleaning is required.

Food Safety, Compliance and Traceability

The RAYCON Compliance Package provides functions including Audit-Check, Sensitivity Prediction, Compliance Mode, Integrated Compliance Monitoring and Integrated Validation Process. Together they support documented control of inspection performance and food-safety requirements.

Connectivity and Insight.360

With Insight.360, Insight.WEB and INTERLINK+, RAYCON systems can be integrated into centralized production monitoring. Inspection events, product changes, audits and errors can be logged and timestamped, while OPC UA and REST API connectivity support integration into higher-level production environments.
