Glass-In-Glass Inspection
Mettler-Toledo Safeline has launched the InspireX R50G x-ray inspection system to enhance glass foreign body detection in glass packaging at high throughput speeds.
Mettler-Toledo Safeline has launched the InspireX R50G x-ray inspection system to enhance glass foreign body detection in glass packaging at high throughput speeds. The system is ideal for inspecting confectionery products packaged in glass jars, such as jelly beans, boiled sweets, or mints.
Traditionally, the base of glass jars has presented a challenge for x-ray inspection systems, as the thicker glass in the base absorbs more x-rays than the thinner wall, masking foreign bodies. The InspireX R50G, however, features an angled single x-ray beam to inspect blind spots at the base, as well as in the body, maximising the likelihood of detection. The body, neck and cap are all fully imaged on the x-ray detector; ensuring comprehensive inspection of the container and enabling inspection of jar fill level as well.
The InspireX R50G can accurately inspect up to 1,200 containers per minute. The high-speed automated reject device ensures only contaminated products are removed without the need to slow production. The machine’s data logging and x-ray image library include automatic time stamps for rejected products.
