X-ray inspection for contaminants in horizontal products
Ensure your packaged and unpackaged products are contaminant-free with advanced X-ray technology designed to detect a wide range of impurities, even through complex packaging materials.

Detects and Eliminates Contaminants in Products
The EL 300, EL 400, and EL 500 X-Ray Inspection Systems from Antares Vision Group are designed to enhance product safety and quality in the food, beverage, and cosmetics industries. These systems specialize in detecting and eliminating contaminants such as metals, glass, and high-density plastics within packaged and unpackaged goods—even when encased in metalized packaging materials like tin plate or aluminum.
The inspection process leverages top-down beam technology for comprehensive coverage, ensuring contaminants are identified before products reach consumers. Capable of operating at linear speeds of up to 70 m/min, these systems can be seamlessly integrated into high-speed production lines, supported by a RISC Embedded FPGA data processing electronics for precise detection and reliable performance.
Designed with user-friendly 15″ color touch-screen interfaces, these systems are accessible to non-expert operators thanks to their self-learning and calibration functions. Built in compliance with CE, BRC, IFS, and HACCP standards, they do not require radiological monitoring, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Additionally, with Industry 4.0 compatibility, they offer bidirectional communication for integration into digital factory environments, supporting remote assistance to reduce maintenance downtime and costs.
Whether handling lipsticks, foundation tubes, or canned vegetables, these systems provide the necessary assurance of product integrity, crucial for maintaining brand protection and preventing recalls, thus benefiting manufacturing companies across various sectors.
