Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray X36 Series inspection systems

The Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray X36 Series is a series of adaptable X-ray inspection systems that provide high-detection sensitivity appropriate to a broad range of packaged applications. Systems are designed to consistently detect and remove miniscule contaminants, while simultaneously performing product integrity checks without compromising throughput rate and process efficiency.

With a choice of detector diodes, 0.8 or 0.4 mm, generator sizes and detector width options, systems can be customised specifically to the nature and format of the packaged products scanned.

The X-ray series offers manufacturers the flexibility to analyse the overall mass of a packaged product and individual masses within various areas or compartments and communicate this information to the filling machine to maintain portion control and minimise waste. The X-ray systems are available in two lengths, 2.1 and 1.2 m, and with a choice of multiple widths to suit individual applications.

The product offers a range of fully incorporated reject mechanisms, including reject bins, which capture contaminated or substandard products automatically removed from the processing line. A locking feature limits access to rejected products to authorised personnel only.

With an IP65 rating as standard and the option of an IP69 rating, the series incorporates the latest principles of hygienic design to further benefit manufacturers and protect consumers. To facilitate cleaning, the system has been built with sloping surfaces, including in the reject bin, a tubular frame and brushed steel finish.
