X-Ray Inspection Systems
Fish Bone Detection
Residual pin bones in fresh-frozen and further-processed fish are difficult to find by hand. This system images each fillet, enhances the bone signal and pushes the marked image to two large HD screens at the work stations, so operators see exactly where to cut. Two stations double the capacity of a single-station machine and let the line run at a sustainable pace.

Key features
- Fish-bone enhancement algorithm with adjustable culling ratio
- Two-station automatic image distribution for double throughput
- Large HD screens showing bone position to the operator
- Simple setup and debugging for line personnel
- Detachable conveyor for direct wash-down
Typical applications
- Fresh-frozen fish fillets
- Deep-processed fish products
- Portioned salmon and whitefish
What it detects
- Residual pin and fine bones
- Metal (ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless)
- Glass
- Ceramic
- Hard plastic and resin
- Bone and shell
- Stone
