Anritsu Infivis Ltd, global leader in food inspection technology, is teaming up with UK partner Omori UK Ltd to showcase a brand new best-in-class range of detection equipment – for the first time in the UK – on stand G20 at the PPMA Show (26-28 September, Birmingham NEC).
Centre stage on the Omori stand will be the XR75 DualX+, the latest innovation in X-ray technology from Anritsu. DualX+ is a next generation Photon Detector technology, with specific algorithms for fish and poultry too. The images are meaningfully sharper, delivering superior detection capabilities and lower false rejection rates. Contaminants on the targets are clearly displayed and identified by the shadows they cast and foreign bodies are more readily identified – even ones that are smaller and thinner in shape, such as tiny fish and poultry bones and fine metal fragments.
Omori UK has over 70 years’ experience in providing high-end packaging, processing and weighing and inspection technology, with solutions often developed bespoke to meet customers’ requirements. From design and engineering to installation and maintenance, the company is dedicated to innovation and low cost of ownership, as well as the development of environmentally friendly solutions that help customers to reduce their carbon footprint.
Sharing the stand with the DualX+ will be Omori’s own range of eco-friendly packaging, processing and weighing solutions designed for the food, pet food and pharmaceutical sectors. Chris Keenan, Sales Director at Omori UK, explained: “Our comprehensive range of equipment and services helps businesses of all sizes improve their packaging and processing output, and the Anritsu machines that we recommend and specify are the perfect addition to our offering.
“At Omori we’re dedicated to meeting the highest quality standards and delivering exceptional performance and the DualX+ couldn’t be a better match to our own solutions, as well as the other Anritsu machines we supply. The costs associated with missing a contaminant in food can be catastrophic in terms of both bottom line and reputation, so this latest X-ray technology from Anritsu plays a vital role in food and pharma industries across the world.”
Anritsu’s highly effective inspection systems – which also include high spec metal detectors – can detect a variety of foreign objects in food, including metal, glass, bone, stone, plastic and cement. Equipment selection and placement depends on inspection objectives. In addition to saving consumers from contaminants, and companies from a potentially disastrous legal recall, the equipment has been designed to reduce power consumption and total cost of ownership.
Michael Stuart, Anritsu’s European Sales Director, added: “PPMA is the UK’s biggest annual packaging event and we’re delighted to be joining Omori at the show to help demonstrate the really significant benefits that UK customers can gain from our latest innovations. Poultry and fish bones in particular can be miniscule, so any inspection equipment needs the highest sensitivity – and that is what we have delivered with the DualX+. Visitors will see how this latest technology has evolved to eliminate contaminants from the food chain, even when products are non-uniform in size and shape. It’s a real game-changer.”
