Food and Agriculture Inspection

As the volume of imported foods increases and food product safety has become a major concern, the application of X-ray imaging for agricultural inspection is growing rapidly. Products such as baby foods are scanned for foreign objects and nuts, grains, and seeds are screened for size, density, and pest control. Most organic materials do not require high energy X-ray photons for penetration (<30kV), however, volumes of material often pass through inspection at a rapid rate. Rad-icon’s standard (non-EV) camera products can be used at higher frame rates to accommodate volume inspection.
