While standard X-ray inspection systems use powerful generators to inspect products, the X36 Series uses highly sensitive X-ray detectors that require a less powerful (20 watt) generator to produce the same results, making it the most energy-efficient X-ray system on the market.
Inspection and detection machinery has a noble purpose in the food and beverage industry – to detect impurities in our consumables and reject the product, long before the item lands on store shelves.
Schneider Packaging Equipment Company introduces the new high-speed top loading Robotic Vertical Carton/Case Loader equipped with FANUC Robotics delta robots for accumulating, top load carton and case loading, in high-speed pick and place applications.
The Mettler-Toledo Safeline SideChek x-ray inspection system was developed specifically to deliver effective cost-effective production line x-ray inspection of products in vertical packaging such as bottles, cans and canisters. Two models are available: the SideChek 200 with a 200 mm height inspection area and SideChek 300 with a 300 mm height inspection area.
X-Rays get a power boost: Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (www.thermoscientific.com) has upgraded its popular Thermo Scientific Xpert C400 X-ray system for detecting metals and other foreign objects in food. By adding an X-ray source with twice the power of the original model, the system is better suited for thicker, denser products and high speed production. The system targets a broad range of food applications including challenging wet and semi-frozen products, as well as metalized packaging structures that do not lend themselves to metal detection.
