Curtainless x-ray inspection for small lightweight packaged food products
Eliminate product damage and false rejects with innovative curtainless x-ray technology, ensuring uninterrupted inspection of lightweight, unsealed food products, from chocolate bars to granola bars.
Detects and Inspects Contaminants in Flowing Products
The X5 Pack Curtainless from Loma Systems is designed to integrate seamlessly into food and pharmaceutical production lines, providing reliable contaminant detection with no need for product handling curtains. Its inclined conveyor system maintains product integrity and supports multi-lane or bulk product flow, ideal for items like chocolate bars, granola bars, and vitamin supplements. Employing advanced digital algorithms, it enhances detection across a spectrum of contaminants like metal, bone, and glass. Operating continuously at high speed, it accommodates line speeds of 10 to 50 m/min and ensures safety with robust shielding, containing X-ray leakage to less than 1 μSv/h. The system’s construction in 304 brushed stainless steel ensures durability, while its design follows Loma’s “Designed to Survive” philosophy, offering customizable configurations for specific operational needs. With PLC control and simple integration via Ethernet or USB, the X5 Pack Curtainless provides high throughput efficiencies and maintains ease of cleaning and maintenance, aligning with industry compliance standards.
