Description

The Foodman X-ray inspection system for packaged products uses X-ray penetration to find foreign bodies inside finished packs: ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel metal, bone, glass, ceramic, stone, sand, rigid plastic and even misplaced desiccant sachets.

It is used in food packaging, pharmaceutical and light-industry lines. Typical products include cheese, biscuits, potato chips, infant food, seasonings and spices, meatballs and fish balls, meat, poultry and sausages, bagged coffee and powdered drinks.

Inspection functions

  • Shielding (masking): the operator can exclude selected areas from the inspection, such as aluminium film, desiccants, product edges or aluminium clips, to avoid false rejects.
  • Defect detection: besides foreign bodies, the system counts items and detects missing or broken products.

Construction and environment

The X-ray source is housed separately from the electrical cabinet, which improves water protection and makes servicing easier; the inspection tunnel is IP66 rated. An independent air supply for the source and a circulating-pipe cooling system prevent condensation at low temperatures and keep the unit cool in hot conditions, so the machine runs at -10 to 40 °C and up to 90% humidity.

Software and support

The system runs on a pre-installed Windows interface with more than 300 product presets. Built-in remote-assistance software lets the after-sales team diagnose problems remotely. X-ray leakage is below 1 μSv/h.
