X-Ray Technology: Safeguarding Poultry Product Safety
Poultry processors face increasing demands for food safety and quality. Bone fragments or foreign materials such as metal, glass, or ceramic can appear in chicken breasts, thighs, whole chickens, and processed products like nuggets or patties.
Raymantech X-Ray Inspection Systems make this process safer and smarter by detecting even tiny or low-density contaminants that traditional methods often miss.
1. Why Traditional Inspection Falls Short
Challenge | Description |
Hidden Contaminants | Manual inspection can't see inside meat. Bone fragments, glass, or plastic pieces are often invisible. |
Human Error | Workers may miss defects due to fatigue or distraction. |
Outdated Tools | Visual and metal detection methods alone can't handle complex contamination like bone or ceramic. |
Result: Unsafe products may slip through, leading to recalls, wasted batches, and reputation loss.
2. How Raymantech X-Ray Systems Make a Difference
Capability | What It Means for Poultry Processors |
Dual-Energy Imaging | Uses two energy levels to “see” differences in material density—great for separating bone from meat. |
AI UHD Imaging | Learns from real products to detect tiny or irregular bone fragments, metal, glass, or ceramic. |
Bulk & Packaged Product Scanning | Works for chicken parts, whole birds, and nuggets/patties—both fresh and frozen. |
Fat Content Analysis | Measures fat ratio in real-time for grading, pricing, and product consistency. |
Seal & Fill Inspection | Detects small packaging defects (as small as 50 microns) and missing components. |
3. Common Contaminants Detected
Product Type | Detected Issues |
Chicken Breasts / Thighs | Bone fragments, low-density bones, metal, glass, ceramic |
Whole Chickens | Sharp bone edges, broken blade metal pieces |
Nuggets / Patties | Bone fragments, glass, ceramic, metal impurities |
4. Beyond Safety — Total Quality Control
Raymantech's X-Ray systems don't just detect hazards — they enhance production quality:
100% inline inspection — every product is checked.
Consistent results across different sizes and densities.
Fewer false rejects and low maintenance needs.
Data recording for traceability and compliance (HACCP, GFSI, GMP).
Reduced labor dependence and increased productivity (up to 175 FPM).
5. Clear Advantages Over Traditional Metal Detectors
Feature | X-Ray System | Metal Detector |
Detects Metal | ✅ | ✅ |
Detects Glass / Ceramic | ✅ | ❌ |
Detects Bone / Plastic | ✅ | ❌ |
Fat Content Measurement | ✅ | ❌ |
Packaging Defect Detection | ✅ | ❌ |
6. Summary
Raymantech's advanced AI UHD + Dual-Energy X-Ray technology helps poultry processors deliver safer and higher-quality products by detecting what others miss — from tiny bone fragments to fat content consistency and seal integrity.
It's not just inspection; it's complete food safety assurance for the modern poultry industry.

Oct-31-2025How Safe is X-ray Inspection of Food?
Consumers and manufacturers alike worry about contamination in food – broken glass, metal fragments, plastic or stone – entering a product and harming someone or prompting a recall. X-ray inspection systems have become a key solution: conveyors carrying packaged or unpackaged food pass through a shielded X-ray machine that “sees” inside each item. This technology complements traditional metal detectors and manual checks to catch a wider range of hazards. Importantly, extensive research and industry experience show that food X-ray inspection is extremely safe. Nearly everything we eat – from spices to snacks – is X-rayed at some point during production, and regulatory bodies (like the FDA) report “no known adverse effects” from the low-dose X-ray scans used in food plants.learn more
