Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection, a global leader in product inspection technologies, has announces an informative webinar titled “Superior Inspection of Canned Good with X-ray Inspection.” This highly anticipated event will take place on Wednesday 22 January 2025, at 08:00 and 14:00 UK time.
The webinar will equip food manufacturers with essential knowledge to overcome the challenges they face in modern canning environments, where high speeds, evolving regulatory standards and the complexities of foreign body detection can make achieving both product quality and efficiency difficult.
The one-hour webinar will look in depth at the following topics:
- Foreign body detection and product integrity: Manufacturers often face challenges detecting contaminants in cans due to packaging materials or variations in can orientation. The webinar will show how x-ray inspection systems provide precise, automated detection of a wide range of foreign body contaminants regardless of can type (two-piece or three-piece ring pull). These systems also perform multiple integrity checks in a single pass – verifying fill levels, identifying canning deformities and confirming seal integrity.
- High-speed quality control: High-speed canning lines can make it difficult to maintain inspection accuracy and manage product rejects. The webinar will explore how x-ray technology handles these demands with robust line integration, delivering fast, reliable inspections to avoid production stoppages and reduce waste, even at high speeds.
- Real-time demonstration: Attendees will see x-ray inspection in action during a live demo on a high-speed test track, showcasing how the systems can be seamlessly integrated into real production environments. The demo will highlight continuous, automated quality checks with minimal disruption to operations.
- Data management for enhanced efficiency: With today’s fast-paced production lines, efficient data management is crucial. The webinar will also explore how x-ray systems can integrate with ProdX data management software, allowing real-time monitoring and reporting to streamline audits, reduce human error and provide a comprehensive inspection record for compliance and due diligence purposes.
The webinar will be presented by Adam Green, market manager at Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray, who has extensive experience in helping global manufacturers overcome the unique challenges of high-speed canning processes. Adam will share his insights on optimising x-ray inspections, achieving compliance and enhancing production efficiency, all without sacrificing speed or quality.
“Canned products are essential across the food and pet food industries, but the demands of high-speed canning can make maintaining quality and safety extremely challenging,” said Adam Green, market manager, Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray. “We are excited to present this webinar in order to help canning companies address these challenges – providing manufacturers with the tools they need to improve efficiency and achieve compliance while maintaining high product quality standards.”
Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in interactive polls throughout the session, gathering insights into industry trends and challenges faced by peers. Additionally, a Q&A session will allow participants to address specific concerns and ask about how the Mettler-Toledo solutions can be applied to their production lines.
Following the webinar, attendees will be able to send in their own cans for validation testing to see how their products perform in real-world production environments.
