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 Bulk XR Series
AICON X-Ray: AICON Bulk XR Series. Manufacturer equipment example.

AICON Bulk XR Series for your process

Inspect loose product in a controlled layer before packing.

AICON Bulk XR systems inspect unpackaged bulk products such as suitable dried fruit, grain and other loose materials. Feed presentation is central to the duty: layer thickness, overlap and product variation affect both detection and the amount rejected.

Example: Inspect a controlled layer of loose grain before the next processing or packing step.

Also known as: Bulk X-ray inspection, loose-product X-ray systems, Bulk XR equipment.

Control the product layer

upstream feeding affects the inspection image.

Select the model

width and product depth must suit the duty.

Review rejection

detection and removal need to operate together at the intended flow.

How It Works

1

Distribute a controlled loose layer

2

Inspect the moving product

3

Remove affected material through the selected reject system

Typical Materials & Industries

Grains and cereals

layer control and density variation need assessment.

Dried fruit and loose foods

overlap and natural variation influence detection.

Other unpackaged products

review the actual feed and target contaminants.

Application & Process Context

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

Cereal and grain applications require a controlled product layer through the inspection zone.

Configuration & Application Review

Equipment duty
Inspect loose product in a controlled layer before packing.
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
Bulk XR model, Belt and product-layer arrangement, Upstream feeding interface, Inspection functions, Reject arrangement, Product trials and line controls.
Application verification
Not meaningfully. Belt width, speed, product depth, bulk density and the inspection objective all influence the usable operating duty.

Options to discuss

  • Bulk XR model
  • Belt and product-layer arrangement
  • Upstream feeding interface
  • Inspection functions
  • Reject arrangement
  • Product trials and line controls

Application Questions

Can I quote capacity without defining the product layer?

Not meaningfully. Belt width, speed, product depth, bulk density and the inspection objective all influence the usable operating duty.

What should I send RTS for a review?

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