Bizerba X Ray Machine

• Detection of metallic and non-metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Verification of product integrity, such as missing components or fill level discrepancies.
• Inspection of raw ingredients for foreign body detection before processing.
• Quality control for products in various packaging types, including foil and metallised film.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly by model, but units of this class typically handle hundreds to thousands of products per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 230V or 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, with specific amperage depending on the unit's power rating.

Construction material

Units for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, as specified for this unit.

Contaminant detection

Capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel metals, as well as glass, stone, and high-density plastics, depending on product density and contaminant size.

Reject system

Units often feature an integrated reject mechanism, such as air blast, push-arm, or diverter, for automatic removal of non-conforming products.

Footprint

The physical dimensions vary by model, but buyers should consider the space required for the main unit, infeed, outfeed, and access for maintenance.

Software and interface

Typically includes a user-friendly HMI for recipe management, data logging, and system diagnostics.
