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

AICON SCAN XR Series for your process

Inspect individual or grouped packs on a conveyor.

AICON SCAN XR equipment addresses inspection of products presented in packs such as trays, pouches, cartons and flowpacks. The model, X-ray arrangement and software checks are selected around the pack, product and inspection objective.

Example: Inspect confectionery packs for agreed foreign-body targets and selected product-quality defects.

Also known as: Conveyor X-ray inspection, packaged-product inspection, SCAN XR systems.

Choose around the pack

dimensions and product density affect the inspection geometry.

Define the inspection tasks

foreign-body and quality checks need product-specific validation.

Integrate rejection

confirm spacing, speed and the reject verification arrangement.

How It Works

1

Present the pack through the inspection zone

2

Analyse the selected image and quality criteria

3

Reject and verify affected product

Typical Materials & Industries

Confectionery and snacks

product variation and packaging influence the image.

Ready meals and bakery

assess density variation and the required quality checks.

Meat and dairy packs

review the selected model and application-specific functions.

Sweets inspection with AICON PCT

AICON demonstrates foreign-body and filling-defect inspection in sweets using its PCT technology. This is a selected technology and application demonstration; confirm the quoted model and test your own products.

Configuration & Application Review

Equipment duty
Inspect individual or grouped packs on a conveyor.
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
Model and aperture, Inspection technology, Selected quality-analysis functions, Conveyor and reject arrangement, Line integration, Product trials.
Application verification
No. X-ray contrast depends on the contaminant and product. Establish the target materials, sizes and locations, then validate detection with representative products and operating conditions.

Application Questions

Will the system detect every type of plastic?

No. X-ray contrast depends on the contaminant and product. Establish the target materials, sizes and locations, then validate detection with representative products and operating conditions.

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.
