Combi x-ray and checkweigher for vertical products

Ensure accurate weight control and safety by detecting foreign bodies in medium vertical packaging with integrated X-ray and checkweighing technology, designed to streamline your production line.

Inspects and Weighs Medium Vertical Products

The Combi X-Ray Checkweigher for Medium Vertical Products by Antares Vision Group offers a unique compact system that combines weight control and X-ray inspection in a single unit. This innovative solution provides seamless integration into your production line, particularly for beverage and food industries focusing on vertical products like juice cartons and Tetra Paks. The monoblock design ensures efficient space utilization, reducing costs and footprint compared to separate units.

Utilizing side scanning X-ray beams, it detects foreign bodies such as metals, glass, stones, and dense plastics, ensuring product safety and quality. Integrated with a dynamic weighing unit, it precisely measures products up to 3200g with a fast throughput of up to 300 items per minute, catering to high-speed production demands.

Controlled via a 15” color touchscreen interface, the system allows easy setup and monitoring through user-friendly product recipes. The equipment meets international standards, including CE, MID, and HACCP, ensuring compliance across multiple sectors from food to life sciences. With its IP65 protection, it offers durability in demanding environments, and its powerful generator requires no regular maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency.

Antares Vision Group supports Industry 4.0 with bidirectional protocol capabilities, enabling remote assistance and data integration for smart manufacturing. The system’s modular ejection mechanism is customizable, providing tailored solutions to diverse production needs, ensuring consistent, reliable, and high-quality inspection and weighing across your operation.
