X-RAY FOOD INSPECTION:
The FlexXray Process
The FlexXray Process
At FlexXray, we offer the most cost-efficient solution to resolve your on-hold product: third-party inspection. We can find what inline machines can’t with advanced x-ray inspection systems. At FlexXray, we can detect metal, glass particles, stones, bone, rubber, plastic, gasket material, product clumps, container defects, wood, missing components and beyond down to 0.8 mm and smaller. We maintain traceability every step of the way. FlexXray can complete a thorough x-ray inspection faster than you can get you a quote from anywhere else, and quicker than it would take you to rework the product through your inline systems, saving you time, labor and money.
No matter how large or small your product hold is, we have the capacity and labor to rework it.

Re-bundling – We can inspect your product down to the smallest container size possible to ensure the smallest detection sensitivities, if needed. If this means that we have to open a case, we have the capacity to re-package or re-shrink bundle the product as needed.
Don’t hesitate to contact our team of experts if you have product on hold. You can send a sample to us, and we’ll perform free sample testing with no obligations.
