Rubber Fab has solved another perennial problem—how to detect rubber seal and gasket foreign matter in food using X-ray systems, as X-rays just don’t generally see rubber or fluoropolymer sealing materials.
Both X-ray and metal detection machines can prevent a lot of headaches. But if this is your first time purchasing a system, determining which is right for your operations can be confusing.
Engineered for small to mid-sized companies, the Anritsu XR74e X-ray inspection system detects metal, wire, stones, bones, rubber and glass fragments in packaged products.
IMI metal-detectable and X-ray-inspectable seals and gaskets contain an additive that can be spotted by metal detectors, X-ray systems and optical scanners, and captured by magnetic separators.
The Ishida IX-EN series X-ray system is intended for use with uniform products, such as bread, dried fruit, sliced cheese, yogurt, pastry and confectionery, while the IX-GN series system detects pieces of stainless steel down to 0.3mm in diameter.
The Peco InspX SHIELD Solo side-view X-ray inspection platform is designed for use with rigid containers, including metal cans, composite cans and plastic containers, at conveyor speeds up to 233 meters/min.
Ishida IX series X-ray inspection systems offer foreign body contaminant detection and the ability to identify damaged and missing products or components.
