New x-ray systems are available to all budgets

At interpack, MettlerToledo Product Inspection introduced its X2 series of high-performing x-ray systems to help enhance product safety at what it says is a favourable price point for all food manufacturers.

“With two x-ray systems currently in the X2 Series, x-ray inspection is now accessible for all budgets, offering manufacturers software that is designed to last longer and perform better,” explains Ian Robertshaw, global key account manager for product inspection at the company. The creative design of the new machines helps to enhance brand protection and product safety while also increasing product quality. Helping manufacturers to meet food safety compliance requirements, while also offering enhanced productivity, the X2 series is billed as delivering outstanding reliability with a smart industrial design.

The x-ray inspection technology inspects a wide range of contaminants, including glass, metal, mineral stone, calcified bone, dense plastic and rubber compounds while simultaneously completing a number of quality control and integrity checks.

Two models are available – the X12 and X32 – both of which are available in multiple line configurations 800, 1300, 1800 and 2000 mm line lengths:

This, says the company, opens up a whole range of advantages for packaging into flowpacks. For example, box motion delivers a high-quality seal seam as well as processing thick high-barrier films and also mono films. Since the unit is also very easy to change, it offers even more flexibility and future proofing to manufacturers who use different flow wrapping films across its ranges.
