1.Application Scenarios：
Metal detection is a common inspection method used in powdered food production. It helps manufacturers identify metallic contaminants in finished packages before products leave the production line.
HISTOM metal detectors can be used for various powdered food products, including milk powder, flour, coffee powder, protein powder, and seasoning mixes.
2.Metal Detection for Non-Metallic Packaging
For powdered products packaged in standard plastic bags, paper bags, or other non-metallic materials, a conveyor-style metal detector can be used to inspect the finished packages after they have been filled and sealed.
This system is capable of detecting ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel. If a contaminated package is identified, an automatic rejection system removes it from the production line.
This inspection method is suitable for a wide range of conventional powder packaging applications. However, if the packaging material contains a metallic layer, it may interfere with the detection process; in such cases, alternative inspection solutions are required.
3.Metal Detection for Aluminum Foil Packaging
For powdered food products packaged in aluminum foil or metallized film bags, conventional metal detectors may not provide reliable inspection results.
This is because conventional metal detectors work by generating an electromagnetic field and detecting changes caused by metal objects passing through the inspection area. However, aluminum foil packaging itself contains metal, which also generates an electromagnetic response as it passes through the detector. This packaging signal can interfere with the detection of metal contaminants inside the product, potentially causing false alarms or reducing detection performance.
To address this challenge, manufacturers can consider using metal detectors specifically designed for aluminum foil packaging. These systems are developed to distinguish product contamination signals from the effects of metallic packaging, allowing manufacturers to inspect foil-packaged products more effectively.
The optimal solution depends on factors such as the packaging structure, product characteristics, and required detection performance. If your powdered food products are packaged in aluminum foil or metallized film, HISTOM can recommend a suitable metal detection solution based on your specific application and inspection requirements.

How to Choose the Right Powder Food Inspection Equipment
The appropriate food inspection equipment depends on product packaging, the potential contamination risks that need to be detected, and production requirements.
| Production Application | Recommended Equipment | Main Inspection Purpose | |
|
Powder in ordinary plastic or paper bags |
Conveyor Metal Detector/Food Metal Detrctor | Detect metallic contaminants | |
| Powder in aluminum foil or metallized film bags | Aluminum Foil Metal Detector or X-Ray Inspection System | Inspect products in metallic packaging | |
| Powder in plastic bottles or metal cans | Side-Illuminated X-Ray Inspection Machine | Detect detectable foreign objects inside containers | |
| Powder in bags, bottles, or cans | Dynamic Checkweigher | Identify underweight and overweight packages | |
For manufacturers with diverse inspection requirements, either a metal detector or an X-ray inspection system (for food products) can be integrated with a checkweigher on the same production line. However, the final equipment configuration should be determined based on product samples, packaging materials, production line layout, and specific inspection objectives.

1.Application Scenarios：
Food X-ray inspection provides another approach to foreign object detection in powdered food production.
Unlike metal detection machine methods, X-ray systems operate by analyzing differences in material density; consequently, they are suitable for inspecting products in a wide variety of packaging formats and for detecting a diverse range of foreign objects—such as metal, glass, stone, and ceramic—that may be present.
2.X-Ray Inspection for Bagged Powder
For bagged powdered foods, X-ray inspection can be used with plastic bags, paper packaging, aluminum foil bags, and metallized film packaging.
This makes X-ray inspection a practical option when manufacturers need to inspect powder products in packaging that may not be compatible with conventional metal detection.
The system analyzes each package and can automatically reject products identified with foreign objects. Inspection images can also be recorded for quality review, while product recipes can be stored for different production items.
3.X-Ray Inspection for Bottled and Canned Powder
For powdered products packaged in plastic bottles, metal containers, or cans, a side-scanning X-ray inspection system can be used, allowing the containers to be inspected while remaining in an upright position.
The spacing and operating speed of the conveyor system can be adjusted based on container dimensions and production requirements. If greater stability is needed during inspection, customized conveyor structures can be employed to hold the containers securely in place, thereby reducing the risk of them tipping over.
This configuration enables manufacturers to inspect bottled or canned powdered products without the need to alter their existing packaging formats.

1.Application Scenarios：
In addition to foreign object detection, accurate filling weight is an important part of food quality control. A dynamic checkweigher can automatically weigh individual packages while they move along the production line.
HISTOM checkweighing systems can be applied to bagged, bottled, and canned powder products, helping manufacturers identify packages that do not meet their specified weight requirements.
2.Checkweighing for Bagged, Bottled, and Canned Powder
Checkweighing for Bagged, Bottled, and Canned Powder
Manufacturers can set a target weight as well as upper and lower weight limits through the touchscreen interface.
During operation, the checkweigher weighs each package and compares the result with the preset limits. Underweight and overweight products can be automatically rejected, while packages within the acceptable range continue through the production line.
The weighing range depends on the selected model. Standard configurations can handle products up to 1 kg, with customized options available for different weight requirements.
3.Weight Accuracy and Data Management
For standard applications, the checkweigher can achieve an approximate weighing accuracy of ±0.5 g. Higher accuracy requirements, such as ±0.1 g, can be evaluated according to the product, line speed, and operating environment.
The system can also collect weight data, generate production reports, and store inspection records. Data can be exported through USB for further analysis and quality management.
