Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2711147A1] The apparatus has a scanner (2) including a scanning unit (17) i.e. radiographic unit, for determining properties of food products (4-7) e.g. food bar. Two parallel separately drivable conveyor tracks (8-15) supply the food products to the scanner, and a control unit controls the drive of the conveyor tracks. The control unit separately controls drive of the conveyor tracks to convey the food products of the conveyor tracks through a scanning area of the scanner. The scanning unit comprises an X-ray source and a detector. An independent claim is also included for a method for scanning food products with a scanner.
