X-ray inspection system detects contaminants in glass packaging
METTLER TOLEDO Safeline, Tampa, Fla., introduced the R50G glass x-ray inspection system, which detects a wide range of dense contaminants within products packaged in glass containers, including metal, mineral stone, calcified bone, high-density plastic and rubber compounds and even glass within glass, irrespective of their shape, size or location within the bottles and jars.
The R50G x-ray system was designed specifically to provide complete glass container inspection by reducing blind spots in the base, sidewalls and neck of the container. The R50G system incorporates an angled x-ray beam that shoots through the base, maximizing detection sensitivity. The system also simultaneously inspects through the sidewalls of glass containers, enabling manufacturers to inspect the complete contents.
