AICON X-RAY Inspection Systems - Foreign Material Detection Beyond Metal Detection

We help Canadian food processors detect foreign materials **and verify product quality** before finished products leave the plant.
Detect metal, glass, ceramic, stone, bone, rubber, dense plastics, incomplete products, fill-level issues, count errors, and packaging defects with one inspection platform.

AICON systems combine advanced foreign-material detection with inspection capabilities for product completeness, fill level, weight, dimensions, counting and packaging quality - across packaged foods, bulk products, liquids, jars, bottles, meat, poultry and other demanding applications.

AICON Side Scan BV Series for your process

Review challenging container bases with variable beam geometry.

AICON Side Scan BV equipment provides a specialised inspection arrangement for vertical containers, including liquid products in glass or PET packaging. The variable-beam geometry is reviewed around the container base and the regions where detection is difficult.

Example: Test contamination targets near the base of a filled glass container.

Also known as: Variable-beam X-ray inspection, Side Scan 4 View BV, container-base inspection.

Focus on difficult regions

base geometry needs to be represented in testing.

Review multiple views

selected beam paths are part of the inspection design.

Validate the full pack

closure, fill and density variation still influence performance.

How It Works

1

Present the vertical container

2

Inspect using the selected BV geometry

3

Apply validated decision and rejection criteria

Typical Materials & Industries

Liquid products in glass

base and wall thickness affect the inspection.

PET containers

container shape and product presentation need review.

Jar and bottle lines

conveyor control and rejection must match the container.

Application & Process Context

Product and packaging, dimensions, line speed or flow, density variation, foreign-body targets, quality checks, available space, and reject verification requirements.

Glass-jar inspection requires particular attention to the container base and its geometry.
