Combi x-ray and checkweigher for vertical products

Ensure precise weight control and contamination detection for vertical packaging lines with integrated X-ray and checkweighing technology, ideal for maintaining product integrity and safety.

Inspects and Weighs Small Vertical Products

The Combi X-Ray + Checkweigher from Antares Vision Group offers an integrated solution for precise inspection and weighing of small vertical products. Designed to efficiently manage juice cartons, canned food, and other similar goods, this system utilizes side-scanning beam X-ray technology combined with a dynamic weighing module for comprehensive quality control. Its innovative monoblock design eliminates the need for separate units, streamlining operations with a single 15-inch color touchscreen interface. Capable of operating at linear speeds up to 70 m/min and production rates of up to 300 products per minute, it reliably detects foreign materials such as metals, glass, and dense plastics while weighing items up to 3200 grams with a high degree of accuracy. Integration into existing production lines is straightforward, thanks to tangential belts that facilitate seamless product transition. Engineered for Industry 4.0 compatibility, it includes remote assistance via Ethernet and USB, complies with CE, MID, and other international standards, and offers IP65 protection. This system is ideal for food and beverage manufacturers requiring enhanced quality assurance and operational efficiency.
