Suzhou/2025.6.27 – Faced with persistent complaints from end consumers about foreign objects like twigs and stones found inside coffee packaging, a well-known domestic coffee roaster found itself grappling with a critical threat to product quality and brand reputation. To decisively resolve this stubborn issue, the company proactively engaged SDV, a global leader in inspection solutions, placing an initial order for SDV's high-performance Packaged Product X-ray Inspection System. Leveraging exceptional sensitivity and precise imaging analysis capabilities, the SDV equipment performed "eagle-eye" scanning on finished packaged products at the end of the production line. It successfully detected and efficiently rejected various unintended contaminants, including small twigs and stones, significantly preventing defective products from reaching the market. While this effectively alleviated complaint pressure, the client aimed higher. To eradicate the problem at its source and achieve comprehensive quality control, they turned to SDV again, adding a dedicated Bulk Coffee Bean/Raw Material X-ray Inspection System to their operation. This system conducts deep screening at the bulk stage before beans are bagged, moving the contaminant interception point upstream and establishing a dual-protection network ("bulk + finished goods"). The results were immediate and decisive. Since the two SDV X-ray machines began operating in tandem, the long-standing issue of "foreign objects in packaging" resulted in zero customer complaints. Product safety and consumer trust were robustly restored. SDV's cutting-edge technology and reliable equipment successfully helped the client overcome a major quality crisis, earning high recognition. Building on deep trust in SDV's outstanding equipment performance and comprehensive after-sales service system, the client once again chose SDV when planning a new production line. Recently, the two parties secured a new agreement: the client formally ordered a high-performance Optical Sorter from SDV for a critical stage in their green coffee processing line. This marks an expansion of the collaboration from contaminant detection into the more upstream and precise field of green bean sorting, solidifying SDV's position as a core partner in building the client's high-quality coffee supply chain. Deep Roots in Coffee, Building Trust Through Proven PerformanceSDV, a technology-driven enterprise with years of deep expertise in coffee processing, is relentlessly committed to developing and delivering smarter equipment with superior performance and enhanced stability. We deeply understand the challenges clients face in raw material handling, processing safety, and efficiency improvement, directing our innovation accordingly. This three-stage progression of collaboration not only demonstrates SDV's technological leadership and solution completeness in solving coffee contaminant issues but also validates our core principle: securing orders through proven performance, and deepening partnerships through service excellence. SDV's goal extends beyond providing equipment; we aim to be a steadfast partner, offering reliable technical support and fostering enduring relationships to serve as the solid foundation for our clients' capacity upgrades and quality leaps.

SDV, a leader in advanced sorting technology, has successfully installed its state-of-the-art intelligent X-ray detector at a prominent bean processing factory in Dalian, China. The system has delivered exceptional performance, providing a revolutionary solution to the factory's persistent challenge of insect damage in green peas. Since commissioning, the system has achieved an impressive defect removal rate exceeding 99%, effectively eliminating a long-standing quality issue and earning high praise from the customer. Precise Detection Solves Industry Pain PointGreen peas are susceptible to insect infestation during growth and storage, leading to internal cavities (insect damage) that are difficult to detect. These defects not only compromise product appearance and taste but also pose food safety risks, representing a major challenge for the bean processing industry. Traditional manual sorting or optical methods often suffer from low efficiency and high miss rates, struggling to meet the demands of high-quality domestic and export markets. The Dalian factory had been significantly impacted by this issue, urgently needing a more efficient and accurate solution. X-ray Power Delivers "Exceptional" ResultsThe intelligent X-ray detector supplied by SDV utilizes powerful X-ray technology to clearly detect internal cavities caused by insect damage and foreign material (like insect remnants) within peas, leaving even the most concealed defects nowhere to hide. Equipped with high-sensitivity detectors and advanced image processing algorithms, the system performs high-speed, precise identification and rejection in milliseconds. The system's performance at the Dalian plant has exceeded expectations. Operational data consistently demonstrates an insect damage detection and removal rate surpassing 99%. This remarkable figure means nearly all defective peas are accurately identified and automatically rejected, dramatically enhancing the purity and quality grade of the final product. Customer Acclaim Sets Industry Benchmark"This equipment is an absolute game-changer!" exclaimed the Quality Control Manager at the Dalian bean processing facility. "Insect damage was our biggest quality control headache for years. It consumed massive manpower, and defective peas still slipped through, leading to customer complaints. Since implementing SDV's X-ray detector, the quality of our sorted peas has improved dramatically – insect-damaged peas are virtually eliminated. That over 99% removal rate is truly exceptional! This has drastically reduced our quality risks, boosted customer satisfaction, and strengthened our market competitiveness. We offer our highest praise and sincere thanks to SDV for the equipment's performance and their outstanding service!" SDV: Committed to Food Safety and Quality EnhancementThis successful implementation at the Dalian bean processing plant reaffirms SDV's technological leadership in the food sorting and inspection sector. The company is dedicated to applying cutting-edge technology to food processing, providing global customers with efficient and reliable solutions for foreign object detection and quality grading, safeguarding food safety at the source and enhancing product value. "We are thrilled to see our X-ray technology effectively solve a core challenge for our customer in Dalian and deliver significant economic and brand benefits," stated Sales Director at SDV. "Achieving an insect damage removal rate exceeding 99% demonstrates our technical capability and, more importantly, our commitment to delivering on our promises to customers. We will continue to drive innovation, empowering more food processors to advance towards safer, more efficient, and smarter operations."

At a major legume processing plant in Dalian, SDV's next-generation X-ray detector is scanning white kidney beans at 6,000 beans/minute. Confronting the industry's persistent challenge of insect borehole detection—where a mere 0.5% infestation rate can downgrade entire batches—the client had tested equipment from multiple countries without success. SDV's breakthrough hinges on three core technologies:1️⃣ Multi-spectral Imaging: 140kV micro-focus X-ray sources detect boreholes as small as 0.3mm²2️⃣ Deep Learning AI: Neural networks trained on 100,000+ infestation samples reduce false positives to <0.02%3️⃣ Dual-angle Scanning: Simultaneous top/bottom imaging eliminates blind zones "Traditional color sorters fail with internal damage," stated the client's production director during acceptance testing. "SDV's solution not only achieves 99.8% defect removal but also increases premium bean yield by 15% through intelligent grading."
