Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray, the Product Inspection division of Mettler-Toledo has developed a new X-ray system for pharmaceutical and food manufacturers, which gives the same level of foreign body detection sensitivity as a traditional X-ray system.
Suitable for small and medium sized packaged products inspection, the X3310's X-ray detector boosts detection of foreign bodies such as glass, metal, stone, high-density plastic and bone fragments.
According to the company, the system is available in 300mm or 400mm detector widths to suit a range of applications and has a single vertical X-ray beam.
The entire X3310 system uses 20% less energy under typical operating conditions, minimizing manufacturing costs for pharmaceutical and food manufacturers.
The reduced X-ray power output of the system has also enabled Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray to include a larger window on the reject bin, facilitating rejection system calibration and simplifying product set-up.
Besides, the machine's casing is hygienically designed for easy cleaning, with curved and sloping surfaces allowing water to run-off, the company claims.
