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.
