The Perfect Dessert, Guaranteed

Fanchi-tech FA-XIS Series X-Ray System Helps Doux Patisserie—Europe’s Top Dessert Brand—Meet BRC Standards
For Doux Patisserie, a leading European patisserie and dessert manufacturer under the renowned Bakers Group, “perfect desserts” aren’t just about taste—they depend on uncompromising safety and quality. When the brand needed an inspection solution for its aluminium foil-packaged baked desserts, it turned to Shanghai Fanchi-tech Machinery Co., Ltd. The result? The FA-XIS Series X-Ray Inspection System—a seamless fit that meets BRC’s highest standards and elevates Doux’s quality control.

About Doux Patisserie: Excellence in Every Bite

As part of the Bakers Group—where all production facilities hold BRC Highest Level Certification—Doux Patisserie stands out for its diverse, innovative range of desserts. With four specialized manufacturing sites across the Netherlands, it supplies premium baked goods (from fruit tarts to creamy mousses) to supermarkets, cafes, and hotels across Europe.
The Bakers Group’s core values include rigorous R&D and strict quality management—a commitment that led Doux Patisserie to seek an advanced inspection system for its Velp, Holland site. Having previously partnered with Fanchi-tech for other inspection equipment (and been impressed by performance and service), the team knew Fanchi-tech was the right choice for its next upgrade.

The Challenge: Inspecting Foil-Packaged Desserts with Precision

Doux Patisserie faced two critical pain points that demanded a specialized X-ray solution:

Foil Packaging Limitations: Its baked desserts are wrapped in aluminium foil—material that metal detectors struggle with, as it interferes with detection signals and misses contaminants.
Multi-Dimensional Quality Checks: Beyond finding contaminants, Doux needed to verify product integrity: ensuring correct shape (e.g., no deformed tarts), accurate zone mass (e.g., consistent cream filling), and proper component count (e.g., correct number of dessert portions per pack).
BRC Compliance: As a BRC-certified facility, the system had to meet strict hygiene, reliability, and traceability requirements—non-negotiable for serving European retail partners.

Fanchi-tech’s Solution: FA-XIS Series X-Ray Inspection System

After a full on-site audit of Doux’s Velp production line, Fanchi-tech recommended the FA-XIS Series X-Ray Inspection System—engineered to tackle the unique challenges of foil-packaged desserts. Its key features addressed every need:

All-Round Contaminant Detection: Equipped with high-speed, high-sensitivity scanning technology, the FA-XIS detects both metal (ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless steel) and non-metallic contaminants (glass, stone, calcified bone, high-density plastics, rubber)—even through aluminium foil or metalised film.
Multi-Functional Quality Checks: Beyond contamination, it verifies critical product integrity metrics:
- Shape conformity (e.g., no cracked tart shells or misshapen mousses)
- Zone mass measurement (e.g., consistent filling volume across each dessert)
- Component count (e.g., correct number of mini desserts per pack)
Smart Reject System: The FA-XIS uses separate reject signals for different non-conformities (e.g., contaminated products vs. misshapen ones), ensuring defective items are sorted and logged separately—simplifying root-cause analysis.
BRC-Ready Design: Built for harsh food manufacturing environments, it features ultra-hygienic surfaces (easy to clean, no crevices for food buildup) and durable construction. Advanced image processing and one-click setup routines also reduce human error, aligning with BRC’s strict quality control demands.

Client Testimonial: Doux Patisserie

Mark Van der Sar, Production Manager at Doux Patisserie’s Velp site, praised the FA-XIS Series and Fanchi-tech’s support:“We’ve worked with Fanchi-tech for years, and their equipment and service have always been reliable—so choosing the FA-XIS was an easy decision.
This system checks every box for us: it reliably finds even tiny contaminants through foil packaging, and its ability to verify dessert shape and filling mass is a game-changer. The reject system is precise, and the checkweighing function adds extra value we didn’t expect.
What’s more, the FA-XIS is so easy to operate—our team picked it up quickly. Fanchi-tech’s before-sales audit and after-sales training were top-notch. I’d 毫不犹豫 (without hesitation) recommend Fanchi-tech and the FA-XIS to any food manufacturer focused on quality.”

Why FA-XIS Stands Out for Dessert & Patisserie Brands

The FA-XIS Series isn’t just an inspection tool—it’s a partner for dessert manufacturers:

Packaging Versatility: It works seamlessly with aluminium foil, metalised film, and plastic packaging—solving the biggest pain point for wrapped desserts.
One System, Multiple Checks: Eliminates the need for separate contaminant detectors, shape checkers, and weighers—saving space and reducing complexity.
Global Compliance: Meets BRC, FDA, and EU food safety standards, making it ideal for brands selling across borders.
Fanchi-tech Support: From pre-installation line audits to post-sales maintenance and training, the team ensures your system runs smoothly long-term.
