X-ray inspection is currently the best technology to meet the high demands of the food industry
Almi GmbH & Co in Austria uses the S+S RAYCON BULK product sorting system to remove contaminants from spice blends
Schönberg, January 2013 - Almi GmbH & Co whose headquarters and production site is in Oftering near Linz in Austria is one of the leading global manufacturers of high-quality spice blends and additives for sausage, ham, meat, and fish products.
Almi uses high-quality raw materials and attaches special importance to comprehensive inspec-tion; they continuously monitor current developments in the raw material market and in produc-tion processes. There is complete production traceability and all products undergo final inspec-tion. Numerous certificates (ISO 9001:2008, ISO 22000:2005, HACCP, IFS version 6, HALAL CONTROL e.K., organic certificate, kosher certificate, Austria certification mark, and others) confirm that Almi has a comprehensive quality management system. They already use, for con-taminant detection, inductive metal separators, magnets, and camera systems.
Almi was looking for the technologically optimum solution specifically for the removal of con-tamination that is optically indistinguishable from coarse spices and dried vegetables. In Sep-tember 2012 Almi installed a S+S RAYCON BULK product sorting system. When choosing the system Almi, apart from high-precision inline detection of contaminants such as metal, glass fragments, ceramic particles, small stones, etc., were concerned that the system should be easy to use for non-technical staff, and offered a hygienic, easy-to-clean and easy-to-maintain design. Among other reasons Almi chose S+S because they preferred a system supplier close to their location, and were particularly attracted to a solution "Made in Germany". They have al-ready successfully completed several projects together with S+S, and were impressed that S+S has more than 30 years of experience in the type of sorting technology implemented in the RAYCON BULK system.

Almi uses the RAYCON BULK product sorting system to inspect incoming bulk materials and remove contaminants before they reach production. X-ray technology is ideally suited for appli-cations where conventional food optical sorting systems have reached their limits. When con-taminants have the same colour as the good material then optical sorting will not work and addi-tionally metal particles enclosed in products, dark stones in black pepper, stones that are coloured red by red paprika, or green glass fragments in green dried herbs, are all examples of contaminants that are invisible to optical colour sorting machines, but are detected by the RAY-CON BULK system.
RAYCON BULK will consistently detect metal contaminants down to 0.6 mm, small stones, or glass fragments starting from as small as 1.0 mm. The integral reject unit comprises a series of mechanical flaps across an inspection width of 580 millimetres, to minimise the loss of good material. The real-time operating system permits timing with millisecond accuracy, and the user interface is highly intuitive in operation. RAYCON systems requires minimum maintenance and operate at a high level of efficiency. For Almi hygienic design of the sorting system is important and the system design permits the complete conveyor belt to be removed from the front for easy cleaning and replacement.
For Almi the RAYCON BULK offers major advantages for reliable customer protection and the reduced loss of high-quality end products.
X-ray technology, as it is used in the S+S RAYCON BULK product sorting system, at present is the best technology to meet the high product purity requirements in the food in-dustry.
S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH of Schönberg, Bavaria, manufactures ma-chines and systems for the detection/separation of contaminants, for product inspection, and for the sorting of material flows. Product sales primarily focus on the food, plastics, chemical, pharmaceutical, wood, textile, and recycling industries. S+S is one of the world’s leading sup-pliers with subsidiaries in Great Britain, France, China, Singapore, and in the USA, representa-tive offices in India and Turkey, and more than 40 agencies all over the world. The S+S group presently has 350 employees, about 300 are working at the main factory in Schönberg. The consolidated turnover in 2011 amounted to approx. Euro 40 million.
