X-ray inspection system for food packaging
Ensure product integrity and safety with advanced detection of foreign bodies in high-speed packaging lines, maintaining quality control across various packaging types and minimizing recalls.
Detects Foreign Bodies and Ensures Quality Control
The MULTIVAC X-ray inspection systems, including the BASELINE I 100, MULTIVAC I 110, and I 510, are designed to enhance quality control in packaging lines for diverse industries such as food, pharmaceutical, and medical products. These systems are adept at detecting foreign bodies within products, ensuring uncompromised quality. Utilizing sophisticated X-ray technology, they operate in continuous high-speed modes, making them suitable for environments demanding swift throughput and minimal downtime.
The systems can inspect a wide array of products, from fresh meats and poultry to packaged batteries and sterile medical devices, effectively detecting contaminants even in challenging conditions. The MULTIVAC I 510 also integrates checkweighing for precise weight and foreign object inspection, optimizing space and operational efficiency.
Featuring flexible integration capabilities, these X-ray systems can seamlessly incorporate into existing production lines and work alongside equipment like metal detectors and automatic checkweighers. This integration is facilitated by a modular construction approach, tailored to specific customer requirements. Designed for reliability, the systems maintain product safety across your entire production process, reducing errors and compliance risks with trading standards. With options for central data storage and evaluation, you gain transparency across all production lines, aiding in optimal planning and efficiency.
