Mettler-Toledo X34 X-ray inspection system

The X34 X-ray inspection system from Mettler-Toledo is designed to allow food manufacturers to identify small contaminants in a fast and reliable manner. It provides detection of metal, glass, high-density plastic, mineral stone and calcified bone fragments across a range of packaged foods.

The system comes with advanced software that enables automated product set-up, decreasing risk of human error and reducing the number of false rejects.

Features include a 100 W ‘Optimum Power’ generator, automatically maximising detection sensitivity; a 0.4 mm detector to accurately detect miniscule contaminants; and ContamPlus inspection software to further enhance detection capabilities.

The system can be equipped with the ProdX advanced data management tool that stores images of foreign body contamination, which can be viewed remotely. It also features a capacitive touchscreen, allowing users to increase the viewing angle of stored images while maintaining image consistency.

The X34 offers ingress protection, with an IP65 rating as standard and IP69 available through upgrade. An air conditioner enables cooling, allowing the product to operate in high ambient temperature environments.
