• Easy to use: Easy to use, environmentally and factory friendly, x-ray inspection systems help to deliver low cost of ownership.  

• Flexible: These systems are flexible to use with a variety of inspection requirements that too with different inspection algorithms and unique technologies.

 Apart from inspecting metal elements, x-ray inspection systems also offer detection of glass, bone, stone, and plastics within the food. Additionally, they can also detect metal components within metalized packaging or foil trays.

 The need for x-ray inspection system:

 The X-ray inspection system is quickly becoming one of the most preferred and reliable sources for detecting contaminants. They are widely being used in factories that operate to retailer codes and ethics of practice and to those intending to offer high-quality protection for their products and services.

 Advantages of conducting x-ray inspection:

 X-ray inspection provides a wide range of great advantages including:

1. It provides detection at a much wider range:

• Glass
• Metal
• Calcified bone
• Mineral stone
• Rubber and plastic

2. The inspection systems can also inspect products in metalized foil packaging and aluminum trays:

 The x-ray inspection systems can detect non-ferrous and stainless steel in food packed in aluminum trays or metal foils without the interference from the packaging.

3. They offer full quality assurance:

 Detecting and rejecting contaminants before goods are dispatched, inspection systems act as multi-tasking quality assurance devices. In only a single pass, they are simultaneously capable of conducting a range of product integrity inspections which include:

• Evaluating the fill levels
• Counting elements
• Measuring mass
• Determining broken or missing products
• Checking for poor or damaged packaging
• Checking the seals for trapped contaminants and food

 Last but not the least, x-ray inspection offers customer trust and helps you build your brand.
