Mettler-Toledo Safeline introduced X-ray Inspection Guide – Building an Effective Program, a user guide and technical manual for production engineers.

Aimed at food and pharmaceutical manufacturers, this guide shows how manufacturers and brand owners in the food, pharmaceutical, and related industries can develop an effective inspection program to catch contaminants and monitor the consistency of product presentation and quality.

Implementing an inspection program with x-ray inspection systems can help protect customers, product quality, and brand integrity.  The guide shows how to implement such a program, and how this program can help manufacturers satisfy industry standards such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP), the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

The 16 chapters of X-ray Inspection Guide cover the entire range of x-ray inspection issues, including basic science, health and safety, and practical techniques for improving inspection effectiveness. The guide is illustrated throughout with diagrams, illustrations, and x-ray images taken from actual production runs. The imagery brings typical production-line equipment and common detection problems to life.

The guide is the definitive guide to using x-ray inspection systems within high-speed manufacturing processes. We've drawn on the collective wisdom of our own technicians and engineers, as well as the everyday experience of factory managers. It's a practical, hands-on guide that should be on the shelves of every food and pharmaceutical company in the world."
