Foreign object inspection for full containers

Detect and remove minute foreign objects from liquid and paste-like products with precision. Ensure safety by integrating a compact, hygiene-friendly inspection system into your production line, capable of handling high-speed operations without missing contaminants in opaque packaging.

Detects and Removes Foreign Objects in Containers

The HEUFT eXaminer II XAC is a state-of-the-art X-ray container inspection system designed for precise foreign object detection across beverage, food, and pharmaceutical production lines. Leveraging the hygiene-oriented HEUFTCleanDesign, it excels at identifying minute contaminants in both clear and opaque products using pulsed X-ray technology. Ideally suited for inspecting items such as juice bottles, soup cans, and syrup bottles, it integrates smoothly into high-speed, continuous operations. The system’s double sidewall and base inspection capabilities, coupled with a unique combination of X-ray strobes and full-field image converters, guarantee unmatched precision and low radiation exposure. Automated via HEUFTSPECTRUM II, it allows for effortless brand and format transitions, minimizing downtime and human intervention. Built with robust materials, it supports CIP systems to ensure efficient cleaning in hygienically sensitive environments. The HEUFT eXaminer II XAC provides comprehensive defect tracking with HEUFTreflexx A.I. image processing and HEUFTNaVi user guidance for intuitive operation, ensuring complete production line confidence.
