LOMA Systems has launched the X5 Pack Curtainless X-ray System for lightweight, unsealed, and unpackaged food products.
By by removing the actual curtains, Loma revealed it has increased successful product presentation as lightweight products will not jam or twist when inspected, reducing the risk of false rejects and delivering higher accuracy and efficiency in the inspection process.
For unpackaged dry products, the benefit is to help stop cross-contamination as there are no curtains in contact with the food, making the system easier to clean.
Features include an incline/decline conveyor design and protective shields. The system’s baffle plates remove the line of sight into the X-ray beam and restrict the aperture height to 85mm, which Loma said reduces emissions to less than 1 μSv/hr without the need for aluminium filtering.
The X5 Pack Curtainless can learn and switch products within minutes. The latest digital technology from Loma is designed to improve image quality, allowing for better detection of contaminants including all metal, bone, glass, dense plastics, foil trays and even metalised film.
Samantha Neves, LOMA’s marketing director, said, “The X5 Pack Curtainless showcases our commitment to innovation and addressing our customers’ real-world needs. This design represents a significant step forward in providing versatile and effective inspection solutions, as certain products require a curtainless system, so even the lightest of products can be x-rayed with no jamming or issues with product presentation.”
