Carol Stream, IL - June, ** 2025 - Loma Systems, a global leader in food and packaging inspection technologies, has announced the launch of the X5DE Dual Energy X-ray Inspection System in North America. Purpose-built for superior contaminant detection in demanding food production environments, the X5DE sets a new standard in food safety, line efficiency and quality assurance.

Engineered with Loma’s advanced dual energy technology, the X5DE delivers unparalleled performance in detecting low-density contaminants, such as bone, rubber and glass, even in overlapping or multilayered products. Ideal for high-throughput processing lines across the convenience food, snacks, bakery and packaged meat/poultry sectors, the X5DE combines high sensitivity, reduced false rejects and a robust hygienic design to support modern food safety objectives.

“North American food manufacturers face increasing pressure to meet both compliance regulations and consumer quality expectations without compromising on productivity,” said Louis Chatel, Loma’s North America business unit manager. “The X5DE was developed with these concerns in mind. With its intelligent detection algorithms, real-time image processing and seamless Industry 4.0 connectivity, the system empowers operators to boost line efficiency while protecting their brand reputation.”

Developed in direct response to feedback from North American customers, the X5DE addresses the most pressing challenges faced by food producers in the region. These challenges include reducing false reject rates while detecting smaller and more difficult contaminants, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of products and maintaining compliance with strict regulatory standards. The system’s dual-energy technology excels in inspecting complex, overlapping products and its compact, hygienic design supports rigorous washdown procedures. Features such as reject confirmation, automatic image archiving and full digital traceability offer the confidence and control manufacturers demand. Not only does the X5DE deliver reliable and accurate detection, but its low total cost of ownership and long operational lifespan also make it a cost-effective solution for many businesses.

Already available worldwide, the X5DE is now positioned to become a critical part of inspection systems for North American food producers seeking best-in-class contaminant detection and operational insight.
