he IX Side Beam X-ray inspection system gives you industry-leading sensitivity for detecting foreign bodies in food, in a machine built to handle products with a high aspect ratio.
The system has the generator and line sensor parallel on either side of the product, tilting the usual alignment by 90 degrees.
This allows for the measurement of lightweight products and/or high aspect ratios, such as upright bottles, pouches, or cartons.
Its unique design with a carousel conveyor means no protection curtains are needed. An inline X-ray machine allows for a smooth and reduced footprint integration into your production line.
