X-ray and checkweigher combination for medium horizontal products

Streamline your packaging line with integrated checkweighing and X-ray inspection, ensuring precise weight control and contaminant-free products, all within a single compact unit designed for medium-sized horizontal product handling.

Inspects and Weighs Medium Horizontal Food Products

The Combi X-ray and Checkweigher from Antares Vision Group combines precision inspection and weighing capabilities in one compact unit, tailored for food industry applications. This integrated system employs a top-down X-ray scanning beam and a dynamic weighing unit for simultaneous contaminant detection and weight verification of unpackaged and packed medium-sized products such as granola bars, pasta packages, and boxed cereals. Operating at speeds up to 70 m/min with a throughput of up to 300 products per minute, it ensures high-production-line efficiency. The monoblock design minimizes footprint and costs compared to separate units, with a single 15” color touchscreen for intuitive operation. Embedded with a self-learning calibration system, it reduces maintenance and downtime, and is constructed with IP65 protection for robust operation. Compliance with CE, MID, BRC, IFS, HACCP, and GMP standards guarantees adherence to international safety and quality protocols.

Benefits

  • Streamlines production by integrating contaminant detection and weight verification in one process.
  • Increases line efficiency with high-speed operation of up to 300 products per minute.
  • Enhances product safety and quality assurance with dual compliance to CE and HACCP standards.
  • Minimizes operational footprint and costs by combining two systems into one compact unit.
  • Reduces maintenance and enhances reliability with self-learning calibration and IP65 protection.
