Detecting Contaminants and Assuring Quality with X-Ray Technology


Tampa, Florida, September 17, 2007 - Processors and packagers in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries face certain challenges, including detecting contaminants, detecting damaged or missing products, and identifying over-fill and under-fill. A presentation detailing the advantages of x-ray technology to address these concerns is offered by Mettler-Toledo Safeline. The presentation, entitled X-ray Inspection - The Future of Packaging Inspection, is available for download at http://www.mt.com/XrayTechnology.
