Ishida - X-ray Machine

• Detecting foreign bodies such as metal, glass, stone, and dense plastics in packaged food products.
• Inspecting sealed products for missing components, incorrect fill levels, or damaged packaging.
• Quality control for pharmaceutical products, ensuring tablet count and integrity within blister packs.
• Checking for defects in industrial components, such as cracks or voids in castings and moulded parts.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly offer throughputs ranging from 30 to over 300 products per minute, depending on product size and inspection requirements.

Power supply

Typically requires a 230V or 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, with specific amperage requirements varying by model.

Detection capabilities

Capable of detecting contaminants down to 0.4mm for metal, 1.0mm for glass, and 2.0mm for stone, depending on product density and X-ray power.

Typical product dimensions

For this class of equipment, maximum product widths commonly range from 300mm to 500mm, with heights up to 200mm.

Operating environment

Designed for industrial environments, often with an IP65 rating for washdown, suitable for temperatures typically between 0°C and 40°C.

Safety features

Units are typically equipped with lead-lined cabinets, safety interlocks, and emergency stop functions to comply with radiation safety standards.
