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 Photon Counting Technology™ - For Any Product. Any Line. Any Challenge.

AICON Side Scan Series
AICON X-Ray: AICON Side Scan Series. Manufacturer equipment example.

AICON Side Scan Series for your process

Inspect tall containers with a suitable side-view arrangement.

AICON Side Scan systems address vertical products such as jars, bottles, cans and other containers. Single- and multiple-view arrangements provide different inspection geometries. Container shape and potential masking regions need review with the actual product.

Example: Assess a filled jar where the container geometry influences the inspection view.

Also known as: Side-view X-ray inspection, jar inspection, bottle inspection, Side Scan systems.

Review the container

base, sidewall and closure geometry influence the image.

Compare the views

one or several beam arrangements suit different inspection challenges.

Set the quality checks

selected filling or completeness functions require application validation.

How It Works

1

Control the container presentation

2

Inspect from the selected directions

3

Evaluate and reject affected containers

Typical Materials & Industries

Glass jars

review base and sidewall masking with the product.

Bottles and PET containers

dimensions and liquid or product density affect selection.

Cans and tall packs

compare the actual container and target contaminants.

Configuration & Application Review

Equipment duty
Inspect tall containers with a suitable side-view arrangement.
Selection basis
Product and packaging, dimensions, line speed or flow, density variation, foreign-body targets, quality checks, available space, and reject verification requirements.
Available configuration review
Single or multiple view, Model and container size, Inspection settings, Selected fill-level or quality functions, Conveyor and rejection, Product validation.
Application verification
The required arrangement depends on the container, product and target. Compare the image geometry and test results rather than choosing solely by the number of views.

Options to discuss

  • Single or multiple view
  • Model and container size
  • Inspection settings
  • Selected fill-level or quality functions
  • Conveyor and rejection
  • Product validation

Application Questions

Are extra views always the only answer?

The required arrangement depends on the container, product and target. Compare the image geometry and test results rather than choosing solely by the number of views.
