X-ray scanner for bulk material inspection

Ensure product safety and minimize downtime by intercepting foreign contaminants in bulk materials right as they enter the production line.

Detects and Ejects Foreign Bodies in Bulk Materials

The SC-B 30 X-Ray Scanner from Wipotec is engineered to enhance the quality control of bulk materials by efficiently detecting and ejecting foreign bodies. This unit is equipped with a diode line scan detector with a 0.4 mm resolution for precise detection. Ideal for applications involving raw materials such as rice, coffee, and nuts, the SC-B 30 is integral in monitoring production lines across industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Built with a compact and hygienic design, the scanner’s stainless steel construction meets IP65 protection standards, ensuring durability in demanding environments. Its compact form factor allows for seamless integration into existing lines, with various ejection systems, including air blast nozzles, to minimize product loss during defect removal.

The SC-B 30 operates under continuous and high-speed conditions, optimizing line efficiency by intercepting contaminants at the beginning stages of processing. This proactive approach reduces downtime and protects machinery from potential damage. With its user-friendly interface featuring a 15” color TFT touchscreen, the scanner provides real-time X-ray imaging, empowering operators to make informed decisions quickly.

Wipotec’s SC-B 30 promises reliable performance and ease of maintenance, with inclined surfaces and C-shaped product spaces facilitating thorough cleaning. Pre-programmed for rapid set-up, this x-ray inspection solution meets stringent hygiene and safety requirements across diverse sectors.
