X-ray Identifies Missing Product in Cases
The Challenges
Inspecting cans of moist smokeless tobacco packed inside cases pose unique challenges to manufacturers, such as:
- Detecting missing lids, cans or rolls inside a packed case
- Foreign body detection including metal contaminants even when product is packaged inside a can with a metal lid
- Detecting missing product in empty cans
