Full container inspection for glass and PET lines
28 August, 2009 byThe Heuft eXaminer XO not only identifies solid foreign objects but also lower density contamination in filled, transparent bottles. The full container inspection system is equipped with optical and radiometric inspection technologies for this. Therefore, it is suitable for safeguarding product quality along glass and PET lines.
Aflatoxin-detecting laser sorter
06 July, 2009 byThe Best Detox aflatoxin laser sorter has been designed to provide reductions in aflatoxin levels on a wide range of crop plants. The sorter uses optical laser technology to detect and reject aflatoxin-contaminated products at a normal processing flow. Combined with the Best Free-Fall technology, it ensures a minimum of yield loss.
X-ray inspection system
03 July, 2009 byThe Dyxim X-ray inspection system by Sartorius can be used to protect final products from contaminants and, consequently, consumers against adverse health effects.
High-speed inline checkweighing system
10 June, 2009The Dolphin Checkweigher is a high-speed inline checkweighing system that is designed and manufactured in Australia.
Metal detectors
01 April, 2009 byDynamic Inspection has introduced a high-sensitivity metal detector for non-conductive products that is able to detect down to 1.5 mm ferrous and 2.0 mm stainless in a 350 mm high aperture. The system is suitable for dry applications such as powders, rice grains, etc. Smaller apertures detect smaller contaminants.
Portable cap torque gauge
11 December, 2008The Mark-10 Series MGTC Cap Torque Gauge features a universal grip for caps from 16.5 to 45.7 mm diameter, providing a simple solution for basic handheld cap torque testing in packaging applications.

01 July, 2008Mesutronic has released the Aluscan metal detector that allows the user to detect smaller metal contaminants down to 0.8 mm in diameter, within aluminium-wrapped products.
Sanitary metal detector
01 July, 2008The latest metal detector for the food processing and packaging industry from JL Lennard is the Apex 500, claimed to be the most sensitive, yet easy-to-operate metal detector available.
On-conveyor metal detector
01 July, 2008Mesutronic has released the Transmetron 05 CI, a metal detector suitable for inspecting products along a conveyor belt.
Radiation-free carton inspection
01 July, 2008The second generation of packaging contents inspection systems (PCIS) is easy to install, simply dropping over existing product lines and occupying minimal line length.
Metal detection monitoring
01 July, 2008JL Lennard has introduced AuditCheck to its Goring Kerr DSP range of metal detectors for the food processing and packaging industries, reducing or eliminating quarantine and improving line efficiency.
Empty-bottle inspection for the low output segment
18 May, 2007Since the smaller breweries and beverage producers also need a high degree of dependability in their bottling operations, Krones has come up with an empty-bottle inspector designed specifically for mid-tier applications. The Smartronic K 714 has a machine rating of maximum 18,000 containers an hour. It features high-resolution DART (distributed architecture for real time) camera technology and is operated from a 12.5 cm touch screen. Its space-saving dimensions, moreover, enable it to be easily integrated into existing lines.
