Metal Detector & X-Ray Test Pieces

Filaco Food Safety Solutions supplies a comprehensive range of metal detector test pieces and X-ray test pieces for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other hygiene-sensitive manufacturing environments across Africa.

Test pieces provide a controlled and traceable method of checking that metal detection and X-ray inspection systems are operating correctly. Regular performance checks form an important part of foreign-body contamination control and help manufacturers verify their inspection equipment as part of established food safety and quality procedures.

Metal Detector Test Pieces

Our test pieces are available with a range of certified contaminant types, including ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel, with different contaminant sizes available to suit individual testing requirements.

A variety of formats allows manufacturers to select test pieces appropriate to their production line and inspection process. Available options include:

• Acrylic test wands

• Acrylic test cards

• Acrylic test discs

• Acrylic test balls

• Acrylic test cubes

• Acrylic test tablets

• FDA test wands

• FDA test balls

• FDA test discs

• PTFE test pieces

• Laminated test cards

• Engineer’s test kits

X-Ray Inspection Test Pieces

Filaco also supplies X-ray test cards for checking the performance of X-ray inspection equipment used within food and beverage production facilities.

Different contaminant materials and sizes are available, allowing test pieces to be selected according to the inspection equipment, product and testing requirements of the individual facility.

Traceable & Calibrated Testing

Our test pieces are designed to provide consistent, traceable verification of inspection equipment. Depending on the test piece specification, features include colour-coded identification, laser-etched traceability information and calibrated contaminants.

Test pieces are supplied with certification identifying the contaminant type and specification, providing documentation that can be retained as part of the facility’s quality and inspection records.

Because metal detector and X-ray systems differ between production facilities, choosing the correct contaminant type, size and test piece format is important.
