ABSTRACT:
A non-destructive, spoilage detection device has a conveyor with a top surface, an upper edge, a lower edge, a first end, a second end, a container ingress area, a first container egress area and a second container egress area. The conveyor's top surface is inclined downwardly from the upper edge to the lower edge so that containers introduced onto the conveyor will roll from the upper edge towards the lower edge as they move toward the first end of the conveyor. Containers of non-spoiled liquid food product exit the conveyor at a first container egress area located along the lower edge of the conveyor, while containers of spoiled liquid food product exit the conveyor at a second container egress area located along the first end of the conveyor. There is also disclosed a method for utilizing the device of this invention for the non-destructive detection of spoilage of liquid food products in sealed containers.
