2.5.2.2 Food shape and dimensions
1. Larger food product size deliver greater precision and shorter period of
time to get measurement results. The best way to conduct measurements of
products is when they are stacked in a fairly large piles or large containers – it is
quite easy to put the device on a pile, or a container. However, when it is necessary
to control the products in relatively small packages, it is recommended to have a
food container with dimensions of no less than 25 cm in each direction.
Figure 2.27 – Recommended container dimensions
Ideally, the detector should be placed in a position between packages or
sacks of food with dimensions of more than ≈25 cm in any direction from the
detector.
The detector can be attached to the surface of the food product with the
same dimensions as described above (optimum alternative) if there is no possibility
to put it between the packages.

2. If the container is smaller in size, put several containers of the same type
together to get the overall dimensions of no less than ≈25 cm in any direction
(otherwise, dimensions has to be less than 14х14х11 cm).
