X-ray Machine FAQ

What contaminants can Techik X-Ray systems detect?

Techik's X-Ray inspection systems detect metal, glass, ceramic, stone, hard plastic, bone, dense rubber, and other dense impurities. They inspect based on material density rather than conductivity, detecting non-metallic items that metal detectors miss.

Can the X-Ray machine inspect for things beyond contaminants (e.g., integrity, composition)?

Yes. Beyond foreign contaminant detection, Techik's systems also perform product-integrity checks—such as sealing, missing components, fill-level, weight estimation—and fat-content analysis for monitoring composition in meat processing.

How does fat-content analysis work in these systems?

The fat-content analyzer uses X-Ray imaging with calibrated algorithms to estimate fat percentage or lean ratio, helping with nutritional labeling, cost control, and process inspection.

Can X-Ray machines inspect large or irregularly shaped packages?

Yes. Techik offers systems with various tunnel sizes and large-window designs to accommodate bulk or large-pack products.

What makes Techik's X-Ray equipment unique?

Techik's whole-chain inspection capability from raw to packaged products, and AI-powered image processing for high accuracy and connectivity.

Does the system support AI-based inspection?

Techik provides remote service, data logging, spare parts, and validation services. Regular cleaning, calibration, and software updates ensure consistent accuracy and reliability.

Which industries are served by Techik X-Ray systems?

Industries include meat, seafood, poultry, dairy, nuts, bakery, snacks, coffee, grains, canned/bottled food, pet food, frozen vegetables/fruits, convenience food, baby food and etc. Also suitable for pharmaceutical applications.

How do I select the right model for my line?

Key factors include product type, packaging, throughput, contaminant risks, and optional features like weight or fat-content analysis. Techik offers sample testing to validate performance before purchase.

Are the systems safe and hygienic for food environments?

Yes. They meet CE radiation standards (<1 μSv/h) and feature stainless-steel, hygienic designs with IP65/67/69K options for wash-down and cold environments.

What about maintenance and support?

The system features hygienic stainless-steel design, quick disassembly, and auto-diagnostic functions to simplify cleaning and maintenance.

Color Sorter FAQ

What products and industries can Techik optical sorters handle?

Techik optical sorters are designed for nuts, grains, seeds, coffee beans, chili peppers, tea, dried fruit, snacks, frozen vegetables/fruits, seafood, pet food, dairy, spices, bakery, ready meals, baby food, and more—covering the full food and agricultural sectors.

How do the optical sorters work?

They use multi-spectral cameras and sensors (visible, IR, etc) with AI algorithms to evaluate color, shape, size, and texture, ejecting defective pieces with high-precision air jets.

What is the difference between standard color sorting and AI optical sorting?

Color sorting uses visible-spectrum differences; AI sorting adds shape, texture, and spectral data analysis, identifying complex defects and minimizing false rejects.

Does the sorter detect defects beyond color (e.g., hair, mold, damage, insect-mark)?

Yes. AI optical sorters detect subtle defects such as hair, mold, cracks, black spots, insect damage, broken or chipped pieces, and other imperfections.

Can multiple grades be sorted (not just good vs bad)?

Yes. Many Techik models support multi-grade sorting (Grade A/B/C), allowing separation by quality level in a single pass.

Are they suitable for difficult product types (wet, sticky, frozen)?

Yes. Specialized feeding and cleaning designs ensure stable sorting for wet, sticky, or frozen products such as nuts or vegetables.

Can the sorter integrate into existing production lines?

Yes. Techik provides flexible configurations, communication interfaces, and footprints for seamless integration with upstream and downstream systems.

How accurate is the sorting?

Depending on the product, Techik optical sorters achieve up to 99.9% sorting accuracy when properly configured and maintained.

How do I maintain the system for long-term performance?

Routine cleaning, calibration, nozzle checks, and software updates keep performance consistent.

What advantages does Techik offer in optical sorting?

Techik's optical sorters feature AI/multispectral imaging, industrial durability, wide material adaptability, and full-chain solutions from raw to packaged food. They excel at detecting surface-level defects (color, skin blemishes, cracks, spots, insect marks, broken pieces) and work alongside bulk X-ray inspection (which finds internal defects) to deliver comprehensive quality assurance.
