FOOD inspection technology specialist Anritsu Infivis Ltd will again be teaming up with UK partner Omori UK Ltd to showcase its range of detection equipment at the PPMA Show from September 24-26 at the NEC Birmingham.
Centre stage on the Omori stand will be Anritsu’s XR75 series X-ray machine, but with a twist! Offering the same ‘stringent’ detection tech as the XR75, the Long Life Model is said to offer customers the lowest total cost of ownership, thanks to a long life X-ray generator and sensor combination.
Using a lower output X-ray generator combined with a sensor, heat generation is described as ‘significantly reduced’, eliminating the need for a cooling system. Anritsu explained the model is ‘ideal’ for dairy, meat, poultry, bakery, confectionery and pharma applications. In addition to detecting metal contaminants, the machine can also identify shape defects, as well as missing and broken products.
Sharing the stand with the Anritsu XR75 Long Life Model will be Omori’s own range of packaging, processing and weighing solutions designed for the food, pet food and pharmaceutical sectors.
Chris Keenan, sales director at Omori UK, said, “Our own comprehensive range of equipment is helping businesses of all sizes to find creative ways to improve their packaging and processing outputs in an environmentally friendly and economical way. The Anritsu XR75 Long Life Model complements our offering and our ethos perfectly.”
Michael Stuart, Anritsu’s European sales director, added, “We’re delighted to be joining Omori at the PPMA show once again to demonstrate the significant benefits that UK customers can gain from our technology. The contaminants that sometimes get into production lines can be miniscule, so any inspection equipment needs the highest sensitivity. But with machine running costs continuing to rise, manufacturers are bring increasingly squeezed out of profit. The XR75 Long Life has been designed to address these issues, and with a 30% reduction in running costs, it really is a game-changer for the processing and packaging industry.”
