Automated X-ray Inspection for Packaging Lines
Our x-ray systems help detect dense foreign bodies and verify product quality without slowing your line. These units integrate with conveyors, weighers, checkweighers, and case packing equipment. They suit fruits and vegetables, snack foods, pet food, pasta, frozen products, and seafood.
Key Advantages
- Reliable detection near edges and seams through edge‑focused imaging.
- Adaptive compensation reduces false rejects from moisture, temperature, or product variation.
- High-speed signal processing maintains sensitivity at elevated belt speeds.
- Hygienic stainless-steel construction (SUS304/SUS316) with IP65 options for washdown.
- Intuitive operation via a multilingual touchscreen; quick USB-based software updates.
Applications and Contaminants Detected
The solution identifies ferrous and non‑ferrous metals, glass, stones, bone fragments, and dense plastics. It also checks for missing items, broken products, and fill‑level deviations.
Stable imaging supports small-target detection in frozen foods and seafood. Multi‑lane layouts help maintain throughput for snacks and pet food. For pasta and vegetables, adaptive models address shape variability to cut unnecessary rejects.
Technology Highlights
- Image processing: enhanced contrast near seals and tray/carton walls to reduce misses at edges.
- Signal processing: rapid sampling and precise decision logic for consistent detection at higher belt speeds.
- False reject control: automated calibration and recipe-based settings stabilize performance across SKUs.
- Hygiene and compliance: sloped surfaces, tool‑free access, and construction aligned with FDA, HACCP, and GMP guidance.
- Controls and data: guided setup, user permissions, and open interfaces to PLC/MES for reject tracking and quality reporting.
Configurations
- Conveyor inspection for packaged goods: pouches, trays, cartons, and wrapped items.
- Bulk and loose product: fruits, vegetables, nuts, and pasta with controlled product depth and density.
- Bottles and cans: fill‑level verification, cap presence, and internal contamination checks at line speed.
- Compact frames: short layouts for limited footprints without sacrificing key features.
- Heavy‑duty builds: reinforced enclosures for cold rooms and corrosive environments.
- Lane and reject options: air blast, push‑arm, or flap rejectors matched to pack fragility and speed.
How to Select a System
- Product and package: define bulk, pouches, trays, bottles, or cans; pick suitable imaging geometry and conveyor setups.
- Targets and checks: confirm contaminants and quality tasks (missing items, breakage, fill‑level).
- Throughput and footprint: match belt speed, lane count, and frame size; plan clear reject handling.
- Environment: choose IP65 and SUS304/SUS316 for wet or cold zones with hygienic access.
- Integration and data: verify connectivity with weighers, sorters, PLC/MES, and reporting tools.
- Standards: align training, validation records, and calibration with FDA, HACCP, and GMP requirements.
FAQ
How does x-ray differ from metal detection?
X-ray can detect dense non‑metallic contaminants such as glass, stone, bone, and some plastics, in addition to metals.
Does x-ray inspection affect product safety?
Systems include shielding, interlocks, and clear signage. Proper use meets regulatory guidance and does not compromise product integrity.
What throughput can these systems handle?
High-speed imaging and decision logic support elevated belt speeds, including multi‑lane snack and pet food lines, when properly configured.
How are false rejects managed?
Adaptive compensation and recipe-based settings mitigate environmental drift and help maintain sensitivity without excessive rejects.
Quality and Efficiency Outcomes
Users report higher capacity and lower labor when inspection integrates with upstream weighing and packaging. Stable detection supports strong pass rates and fewer stoppages, reducing waste and rework.
