X-ray inspection system for identifying foreign bodies in food products
Ensure precise detection of foreign materials in food products, enhancing safety and quality control at the inspection stage of your production line.
Detects Foreign Bodies and Analyzes Quality
The Ishida IX-EN Series X-ray Inspection System is engineered to elevate quality control across various industries, from food to pharmaceuticals. Designed for entry-level applications, this system employs a genetic algorithm for reliable detection of foreign bodies, such as metal, glass, and bone, while analyzing product integrity. It is ideal for processing sliced cheese, gummy candies, and diverse solid snacks. The IX-EN Series operates with a lower voltage X-ray tube, prioritizing energy efficiency without compromising accuracy, thus ensuring an exceptional return on investment. Integration into existing production lines is seamless with PLC control, enabling remote monitoring and easy maintenance. The system’s compact design and availability in corrosion-resistant materials ensure longevity and compliance with industry standards. Its automated functions support continuous operation, making it a vital tool for manufacturers looking to uphold stringent quality standards while optimizing production efficiency.
