FXI offers conveyorized X-ray inspection and contaminant retrieval and removal.
Our inspection services follow all USDA guidelines and involve approved USDA procedures. We provide clients with evaluation images in order to ensure certainty of contaminant detection. Our fast, free, confidential product evaluations allow us to confirm with certainty whether or not we can identify your product’s contaminant before accepting the job.
The FXI Process
01 — Send a sample of your contaminated product.
02 — We perform an evaluation using a “worst-case-scenario” situation. By strategically placing metal seeds of different sizes and a sample of the suspected contaminant (when available), we can be sure even the most hidden pieces will be detected.
03 — We send you a recovery plan that includes digital images, a cost quote and scheduling information.
04 — Scheduling and shipping arrangements are made based upon urgency to send the complete assortment of products to be inspected. We understand shelf-life concerns and customer order fulfillment needs.
05 — Each case or individual product, if necessary, is carefully evaluated using a either single, double or triple pass method which was previously determined in the evaluation process.
06 — After inspection, the product is re-palletized and returned to you in as good or better condition than it was in when received at our facility.
07 — We send you a completed product inspection summary (PIS) in PDF and Excel format, filled out by our technicians throughout the process to track our findings.
