Anritsu X-ray Systems

Anritsu’s X‑ray inspection systems provide high‑performance contaminant detection and quality control tailored to the unique challenges of seafood production. Engineered for precision, they detect a wide range of foreign materials including fine bones, metal fragments, shell pieces, glass and dense mineral contaminants that commonly occur in fish and shellfish processing. These systems are built to handle both raw and packaged seafood, offering sensitivity needed for thin pin bones in species like salmon, cod and whitefish, as well as detecting contaminants in frozen blocks, breaded seafood portions and individually quick‑frozen products. Advanced dual‑energy imaging and optimized algorithms help differentiate between natural density variations and true contaminants, reducing false rejects while improving safety. For high‑moisture, sanitation‑intensive seafood plants, Anritsu X‑ray models feature hygienic, washdown‑ready construction with smooth surfaces, sealed components and tool‑free access to belts and contact areas. This supports fast cleaning and minimizes downtime while maintaining dependable operation in wet or chilled environments. Beyond contaminant detection, these systems also support broader quality checks such as portion verification, counting, detecting broken or missing pieces and monitoring product uniformity. With intuitive setup tools, clear imaging and automated reject logging, they integrate seamlessly into seafood production lines, helping processors maintain consistency, reduce waste and protect brand reputation.
