Safeline ADV4 Xray machine

• Detecting foreign bodies like metal, glass, stone, and dense plastics in packaged food products.
• Inspecting products for missing components, fill level, or damaged packaging.
• Quality control for a wide range of food items including baked goods, dairy, meat, and confectionery.
• Ensuring product integrity and compliance with food safety standards prior to dispatch.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 30 to over 100 metres per minute, depending on product size and inspection requirements.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Construction material

X-ray inspection systems for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Aperture size

The aperture size, such as 400mm x 200mm, defines the maximum product dimensions that can pass through the inspection zone.

Reject mechanism

Common reject mechanisms include push arms, air blasts, or diverters, typically integrated with a collection bin.

Footprint

The overall footprint for a unit of this type will vary but typically requires sufficient space for the main inspection unit, conveyor, and reject system.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance typically involves calibration, cleaning, and periodic checks of the X-ray source and detector, often requiring specialist service.

• What types of contaminants can an X-ray machine detect?

  X-ray machines are highly effective at detecting dense foreign bodies such as metal (ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless steel), glass, stone, calcified bone, and some high-density plastics and rubber. Their effectiveness is less for low-density contaminants like wood or insects.

• Is an X-ray inspection system safe for food products?

• What is the typical lifespan of an X-ray source?

• Can this machine be integrated into an existing production line?

• What level of operator training is required?

X-ray inspection systems hold strong reputation in food processing quality control. Buyers typically value their ability to detect foreign contaminants and ensure product consistency. When purchasing used equipment, inspect calibration records, detector functionality, and compliance with current safety standards. Common strengths include reliable contaminant detection, minimal product damage compared to alternative methods, and established integration with production lines. Maintenance history and original manufacturer documentation prove important for ongoing performance and regulatory compliance.
