Bizerba X Ray Machine

• Detection of foreign bodies such as metal, glass, stone, and dense plastics in packaged food products.
• Inspection of raw materials and bulk products for contaminants before processing.
• Quality control for product integrity, including missing items, fill level, and package defects.
• Verification of product weight and mass for compliance with regulatory standards.
• Identification of bone fragments in meat and poultry products.

Typical throughput

Typically designed for high-speed production lines, often handling hundreds of products per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage varying by model.

Detection capabilities

Capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel metals, as well as glass, stone, and high-density plastics, with sensitivity varying by contaminant type and product density.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from fully stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments in food processing.

Reject mechanism

Commonly features an integrated reject system, such as an air blast, pusher, or diverter arm, to remove contaminated products from the line.

Product dimensions

The maximum product dimensions (width and height) that can be inspected are dependent on the specific aperture size of the unit.

Safety features

Includes safety interlocks and shielding to ensure operator safety and compliance with radiation regulations. The mention of a Gamma Monitor suggests enhanced radiation safety considerations.

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

  X-ray machines are effective at detecting a wide range of dense foreign bodies, including metals (ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless steel), glass, stone, calcified bone, and some high-density plastics. Their effectiveness depends on the density difference between the contaminant and the product.

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

• What maintenance is typically required for an X-ray machine?

• Can this unit inspect products in various packaging types?

• What is the purpose of a 'reject facility'?

• What does the 'option of a Gamma Monitor, Red Eye G20-10' signify?

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.
