EZx is for companies seeking an entry-level X-ray system. It is designed to locate foreign objects found in packaged food production environments.
The Xpert inspection system is for firms with mid-level inspection demands. It offers missing-product or deformation X-ray analysis and foreign object detection, reported Foodproductiondaily.com.
The APEX 500 metal detector features a patented multi-coil design to make the magnetic flux, which occurs in the aperture, more consistent.
In addition, the VersaWeigh checkweigher can be used for objects from small cartons to industrial-sized bags, making it ideal for operations that run multiple package sizes and configurations, the company said.
