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

AICON Pipe XR Series for your process

Inspect product while it moves through a pumped line.

AICON Pipe XR systems address liquid, semi-liquid and minced products in a pipe. The selected model must fit the product path, connections, flow conditions and hygienic requirements. Rejection or diversion must be coordinated with the actual product movement.

Example: Inspect a pumped semi-liquid product before the next filling or processing stage.

Also known as: Pipeline X-ray inspection, pumped-product inspection, Pipe XR systems.

Fit the process connection

pipe size and pressure conditions require model-specific review.

Describe the product

density variation, air and inclusions influence inspection.

Coordinate diversion

flow and transport time matter to the selected reject response.

How It Works

1

Pass product through the inspection section

2

Analyse the product stream

3

Trigger the timed diversion or process response

Typical Materials & Industries

Liquid foods

review pressure, temperature and cleaning requirements.

Semi-liquid products

viscosity and entrained air influence the inspection.

Minced products

product consistency and target contaminants require trials.

Configuration & Application Review

Equipment duty
Inspect product while it moves through a pumped line.
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
Pipe XR model, Connection size and type, Product-contact construction, Cleaning requirements, Reject or diversion interface, Line controls and validation.
Application verification
No. Pipe geometry, product thickness, flow and density variation create a different inspection condition. Validate the proposed pipe model with representative product and targets.

Options to discuss

  • Pipe XR model
  • Connection size and type
  • Product-contact construction
  • Cleaning requirements
  • Reject or diversion interface
  • Line controls and validation

Application Questions

Can I use conveyor test results for a pipe installation?

No. Pipe geometry, product thickness, flow and density variation create a different inspection condition. Validate the proposed pipe model with representative product and targets.

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.
