- Typical throughput
- Typically, units in this class can handle line speeds ranging from 10 to over 100 metres per minute, depending on product size and inspection requirements.
- Power supply
- Commonly, these machines require a 230V or 400V three-phase electrical supply, with specific amperage varying by model.
- Detection capabilities
- X-ray systems are generally capable of detecting contaminants down to 0.4mm for metals and 1.0mm for glass or stone, depending on product density and X-ray power.
- Product dimensions
- Units are typically designed to accommodate products with widths ranging from 100mm to 400mm and heights up to 200mm, though larger systems exist.
- Construction materials
- For food processing applications, the contact parts and main frame are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.
- Environmental rating
- Most industrial X-ray systems for food environments have an IP65 rating or higher, indicating protection against dust and water jets for washdown.
- Safety features
- Units commonly include lead-lined enclosures, interlocked access doors, and emergency stop functions to ensure operator safety and compliance with radiation regulations.
