Tyras S.A – Hellenic Dairies, based near Trikala, in Thessalia, Central Greece, has installed three Ishida IX-GA-4075 X-ray inspection systems to check individual pots of yogurts as part of its enhanced quality control procedures.
While the automated filling lines operate to the highest hygiene standards, it is vital that the company remains vigilant against potential foreign bodies such as metal, glass or other unwanted items that could contaminate the yogurt if there was a problem with any of the equipment on the line.
“The introduction of X-ray inspection technology has given us that extra degree of reassurance that our product quality has not been compromised in any way,” explains Tyras plant manager Ioannis Balodimos. “This helps to maintain the reputation of our brand.”
