X-RAY INSPECTION
X-ray detection is an increasingly prominent inspection method utilized in food production facilities, enhancing safety and brand protection. Aligned with LOMA’s core philosophy of “Designed to Survive®”, our engineering teams develop solutions based on key principles tailored for X-ray inspection systems in the food sector.
The integrated technology advancements significantly enhance image quality, facilitating superior detection of softer contaminants such as glass, ceramic, bone, and rubber. Additionally, it provides more robust detection capabilities for harder contaminants, including metal and stainless steel.
SAFE – Ensures product safety for end consumers while promoting operational safety during use.
DURABLE – Engineered to withstand the rigors of any food production environment, Loma’s X5 series is tough, robust, and reliable.
FLEXIBLE – Designed to accommodate various inspection requirements, the X5 series features multiple inspection algorithms and innovative Adaptive Array Technology (AAT).
FRIENDLY – User-friendly and environmentally conscious, the X5 series facilitates ease of operation and contributes to a low cost of ownership.
For more than 20 years, LOMA SYSTEMS® has been at the forefront of X-ray technology development for food inspection. Drawing on extensive experience from numerous installations worldwide, catering to both large and small producers, LOMA has added a Dual Energy X-ray to the X5 Series.
The X5 range features a full-color touchscreen, multilevel password access and RFID on select models for secure data management, event logging for traceability, image optimization, AAT technology, and a host of additional advanced functionalities.
Why use X-ray Inspection technology
X-ray inspection is increasingly emerging as the preferred method for contaminant detection among factories adhering to stringent retailer codes of practice, as well as those seeking to offer ultimate protection for their brand.
X-ray Inspection systems offer a great range of benefits including:
Ability to detect a significantly broader spectrum of contaminants
- Excellent detection capabilities for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel metal contaminants
- Dependable detection of glass, bone, ceramic or stone materials, dense plastics, product clumps, and other foreign bodies, contingent upon the relative densities of the contaminants.
Reliable inspection of products packaged in aluminium trays or metallized foil
- The X5 series can effectively detect stainless steel and non-ferrous materials in food packaged in metal foil or aluminium trays, without interference from the packaging itself.
Integrity verification of products being scanned
- X-ray systems can conduct simultaneous inspections of products, identifying missing items, detecting excess products by volume count, and performing x-weighing analysis.
