Hazardous material pipe inspection equipment is a non-destructive inspection device used on the production line to check for the presence of various foreign substances that may be mixed in during the manufacturing process of foods and medicines.
If foreign substances are contained in foods, medicines, or other items that enter the human mouth, they can cause injuries and other health problems. In the worst case, there is a risk of losing the company itself if a health hazard occurs. Therefore, it is one of the priority control points in HACCP.
Conventionally, the presence or absence of organic substances such as hair has been checked visually by humans, but recently, machines have been developed to detect such substances.
Hazardous material pipe inspection equipment is used on production lines in food and pharmaceutical plants. For example, in the case of a plant that manufactures processed vegetable products, after processing the raw vegetables, they pass through an inspection device that uses optical technology and deep-running technology to check for the presence of narrow objects. The product is then manufactured through a mixing process, and after the filling process, the filling is passed through metal detectors and X-ray detectors, then sterilized, boxed, etc.
Thus, several types of hazardous material pipe inspection equipment are used in the manufacturing process of a single product alone, and the kind of equipment used varies because the types of foreign matter contained in each product are also different.
The principle of hazardous material pipe inspection equipment differs depending on the equipment used. A metal detector uses a mechanism in which electromagnetic waves are changed by the presence of metal when the product to be inspected is passed through it.
In the case of an X-ray detector, it uses a mechanism in which irradiated X-rays pass through the object to be inspected and are measured by a sensor on the line and captured as an image due to the difference in the amount of X-rays transmitted. The same principle of X-ray photography is used, and the denser the material, the easier it is to detect. In some cases, the system is also used as a metal detector because it can detect metals. However, metal detectors are more accurate in detecting thin metals, powdery metals, and other low-density materials.
Various other types of hazardous material pipe inspection equipment are also being developed. For example, there is a device that can detect foreign matter by irradiating near-infrared rays based on the difference in absorption wavelengths of moisture and ingredients in food products. Hazardous material pipe inspection equipment can now detect foreign substances of the same color as the product and food products in a state of decomposition, making it possible to inspect for foreign substances with even higher accuracy without relying on the human eye.
