Pipeline inspection for liquid and paste-like products

Ensure your liquid and paste-like products are free from foreign objects with advanced X-ray inspection technology, providing precise detection before packaging to prevent costly recalls and waste.

Detects and Rejects Foreign Objects in Pipelines

The HEUFT eXaminer II XT, developed by HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK, is a cutting-edge pipeline X-ray inspector that enhances product safety for beverage, food, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Utilizing advanced pulsed X-ray technology, it efficiently detects high-density foreign objects in liquid and slurry products before they reach packaging, minimizing food and packaging waste. With real-time image processing and the HEUFTreflexxA.I. system, it provides unmatched detection reliability and differentiation between genuine and false threats. Engineered for continuous high-speed operations, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines with comprehensive automation supported by the powerful HEUFT SPECTRUM II platform. The equipment’s hygienically optimized HEUFTCleanDesign ensures easy cleaning, while robust components promise reduced total cost of ownership and enhanced operational longevity.
