Radix Systems Autosort Blue Alert
Specifically designed to inspect fresh, frozen or dry products in free-fall to detect contaminants of a different colour to the product.
Blue Alert
The Blue Alert is a sophisticated vision system for inspecting a wide variety of product for blue and other coloured contaminants. It is designed to close the inspection gap for contaminants that neither X- ray nor metal detectors can pick up.
The product is fed via chute, conveyor or vibratory feeder into the Inspection Area.
Here two or more high-speed line-scan cameras, viewing from in front and behind, inspect the product under 4-wavelength coloured lighting for colour contaminants. The processors analyse colour for each item and compare to the user-defined limits. Should anything be seen that has not been colour trained as good product a visual and/or audible alarm is raised. Additionally, an output signal can be sent to activate product divert equipment e.g. a pneumatically activated flap valve. This can be for a set period of time, or until user intervention.
No matter how careful, there is always the possibility of contaminants entering the food process line. Human inspectors cannot see all around every item passing and their diligence is limited. The Blue Alert will maintain consistent inspection 24/7, giving the producer additional assurance that a contaminant-free product can be supplied to the end customer. The result is product confidence, reduced rejected batches and satisfied customers.
