X ray inspection evermore effective

Ishida Europe has extended its range of X-ray inspection systems with the launch of a model capable of detecting both metallic and non-metallic contaminants (such as glass, stones and rubber) within products packed in PET bottles, tetra packs, carton brick packs and pouches.

As well as being a useful tool for supporting the quality and reliability of a brand, Ishida IX-GE-B3034 can be easily installed on existing conveyors with minimal disruption.  
The highly-sensitive X-ray system offers automatic set-up and rapid warm up within 90 seconds for fast and accurate operation.  A user-friendly easy view 15 inch touchscreen monitor and Windows XP system ensure simple intuitive operation. There is no need for routine calibration and sensitivity levels can be checked without interrupting product inspection. Data can be stored and accessed to produce quality reports. Other advanced features include automatic bottle pitch control.
A choice of reject systems is available and the IX-GE-B3034 can also be specified with fill level and cap detection to avoid under-filled and incorrectly sealed packs. The sealed conveyor chamber ensures safe operation without the need for protective curtains, and X-ray output is immediately shut down if the integrity of the chamber is ever compromised.
