DEVICE FOR DETECTING AND EVALUATING PRODUCT-SPECIFIC INFORMATION OF PRODUCTS OF THE FOOD-PROCESSING INDUSTRY, SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH A DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING PRODUCTS OF THE FOOD-PROCESSING INDUSTRY

摘要

The invention relates to a device (10) which is designed to detect and evaluate product-specific information of products (12) of the food-processing industry, comprising a transport conveyor (11) which is gap-free on the transport plane for transporting individualized products (12) in the transport direction T from an inlet end to an outlet end, an x-ray unit (13) with at least one x-ray source (14) and at least one x-ray camera (15) or at least one x-ray detector for detecting product-specific information, wherein the x-ray source (14) and the x-ray camera (15) are paired with the transport conveyor (11) such that the products (12) can be guided along between the x-ray source (14) and the x-ray camera (15), and a control unit (16) which is connected to the x-ray unit (13) and is designed to receive and evaluate the product-specific information that is detected by the x-ray unit (13) and forms a first data set. The invention is characterized in that at least one optical camera (17) which, in addition to the x-ray unit (13), can be used to detect product-specific information of the products (12) transported on the transport conveyor (11) is paired with the same transport conveyor (11) between the inlet end and the outlet end of the conveyor, and the optical camera (17) is connected to a control unit (18) which is designed to receive and evaluate the product-specific information that is detected by the optical camera (17) and forms a second data set. The invention also relates to a system (29) comprising such a device (10) and to a method for processing products (12) of the food-processing industry.
