Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has launched the X2 Series of high-performing x-ray systems to help enhance product safety at a good price point for all food manufacturers. With two x-ray systems currently in the X2 Series, x-ray inspection is now accessible for all budgets, offering manufacturers software that is designed to last longer and perform better.
The design of the X2 Series helps enhance brand protection and product safety while also increasing product quality. Helping manufacturers to meet food safety compliance requirements, while also offering enhanced productivity, the X2 Series, delivers outstanding reliability with a smart industrial design.
Launching just in time for Interpack, the X2 Series helps prevent product recalls with contamination detection capabilities that go beyond detecting just metal. The x-ray inspection technology inspects a wide range of contaminants, including glass, metal, mineral stone, calcified bone, dense plastic and rubber compounds whilst simultaneously completing a number of quality control and integrity checks. The X2 Series offers significant benefits both in-line and at end-of-line inspection by using innovative technology all designed for optimum performance and output.
“We are hoping to change the mindsets of all food manufacturers with our new X2 Series that they can now install a high-end x-ray inspection solution at an affordable price point for all. By utilising global service hubs and reducing spare parts, we are confident we have created an innovative solution that is easy to install, environmentally more sustainable and suitable for any budget. With a current 14-day lead time, we can work with manufacturers to install one of our new X2 Series x-ray systems quickly and efficiently, helping them to increase product quality and protect their brand reputation,” said Mike Pipe, Head of Global Sales & Product Management, Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray.
Intelligent Software
The latest ContamPlus™ software is an innovative inspection process which scans products for every kind of contaminant and not just the ones optimised during the initial automatic product set-up. The automatic set-up detects the most hard-to-find foreign bodies and rejects only the contaminated products, reducing production waste and protecting productivity. This is especially crucial for food manufacturers, where product integrity and completeness is key as missing information or products can lead to costly recalls and, sometimes dangerous, results.
At the heart of the design is a new product inspection chamber and a revolutionary modular mechanical design which allows full frontal access to all the most common operations. It offers a range of new features to improve operations such as product handling, cleaning and service routines.
Food manufacturers can significantly reduce cleaning output and maintenance routines as well as the need for complex operator training with the X2 Series’ front-opening hygienic design.
Compliance
With the X2 Series, manufacturers are easily able to comply with industry standards and regulations through ProdX™, a data management software, which provides full traceability through an audit trail and recorded image database.
Manufactured in Europe, the X2 Series consists of two models – the X12 and X32, both are available in multiple line configurations 800, 1300, 1800 and 2000 mm line lengths.
Visitors to Interpack 2023 will be able to view the X2 Series on the Mettler-Toledo booth located at A60 in Hall 11 at the Messe Düsseldorf, Germany.
