Anritsu X-ray and Metal Inspection Systems with QUICCA

Anritsu's food and pharmaceutical product inspection business has designed and manufactured inspection and detection equipment for more than 50 years and has been in the inspection industry since 1964, within a Japanese electronics manufacturer with more than 130 years of history. It helps food and drug manufacturers remove foreign bodies, underweight packs and defective packages before products reach retailers, supporting HACCP and GMP compliance.

The range covers X-ray inspection systems that find foreign bodies and also check shape, missing items and package integrity; metal detectors for ferrous, stainless steel and aluminium contaminants; high-speed checkweighers with filler feedback control; combination checkweigher and metal detector units; multihead weighers; and rejectors. QUICCA software records data from all inspection systems in one central location for HACCP reporting, traceability and line monitoring, and Performance360 service includes HACCP validation and maintenance.

• X-ray inspection: detects foreign bodies and checks shape, missing items and package integrity.
• Metal detectors: detect ferrous, stainless steel and aluminium contaminants.
• Checkweighers: high-speed, accurate weighing with feedback control to filling machines.
• Combination systems: checkweigher and metal detector in one frame to save line space.
• Multihead weighers: fill specified food weights at high speed.
• QUICCA data solution: central recording of all inspection systems for HACCP reports and line monitoring.

• Seafood processors in Vietnam detecting bones, metal and glass in fillets and packaged products.
• Snack and confectionery plants checking weights and foreign bodies at end of line.
• Pharmaceutical and supplement makers inspecting blister packs and bottles.

• Fewer recalls: X-ray and metal detection remove foreign bodies before products leave the plant.
• Accurate weights: high-speed checkweighers with filler feedback reduce giveaway and underfills.
• Audit-ready data: QUICCA centralises inspection records for HACCP reporting and traceability.
• Service support: Performance360 covers HACCP validation, preventive maintenance and training.

Retailers and importers require documented foreign-body control and weight compliance, and many recalls are linked to physical contaminants. Food processors in Southeast Asia, including Vietnamese seafood, meat and snack exporters, are adding X-ray inspection and connected data systems to meet buyer audits in Japan, the EU and the US.
