X-ray scanner for sealed container inspection

Ensure the integrity and quality of sealed containers while seamlessly integrating an X-ray scanner into your filling line to detect foreign bodies and control fill levels with precision.

Scans and Inspects Sealed and Thermoformed Containers

The SC-I X-ray Scanner from Wipotec offers an unmatched solution for inspecting sealed and thermoformed containers across diverse industries such as food, pharma, and cosmetics. Positioned downstream of the sealing station, it ensures foreign body detection and fill level control through high-resolution camera detectors and type-approved metal-ceramic tubes. This system excels in processing solid, viscous, and liquid products like yogurt cups and pharmaceutical vials during a standstill inspection method, thus maintaining stringent quality standards. Integrating seamlessly into filling lines with minimal space requirements, the SC-I supports continuous and high-speed operations. It’s equipped with servo motor technology for precise control and offers various material compatibility options, ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Its design facilitates easy integration, enabling automated processes that boost productivity and reliability in quality control.
