Foreign material contamination remains one of the most persistent challenges in food Worn O-rings, gaskets, seals, and conveyor parts are among the most common sources of foreign material contamination in food plants — yet the material that make up these parts such HDPE, Buna (NBR/Nitrile), EPDM, and Viton (FKM) have long been effectively invisible to standard X-ray inspection. Their density sits too close to the food product itself for traditional X-ray to tell them apart.
Join FlexXray to learn how we’re closing that gap with our new AI-enhanced photon-counting X-ray technology — a new inspection capability that helps find even the most difficult low-density plastic and rubber components.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- Whether you’re in quality, food safety, or operations, this session will give you a clearer picture of a contamination risk that’s been hiding in plain sight — and how to catch it
- Why low-density plastics and rubber are so hard to detect with conventional X-ray
- How AI-enhanced photon-counting technology works, and where it fits alongside existing inspection processes
- What this means for reducing risk, waste, and recalls tied to worn equipment components
