System Features
Product verification software option allows users to execute a wide range of size, position and count inspections
Additional algorithms target the detection of less dense contaminants such as glass or rocks in complex, textured products such as nuts or tea bag boxes
Optional mass estimation software uses the density information in the X-ray image to estimate weight and detect under and filled products
Configurable for dual rejection, separating contaminated products from other quality errors
Standard system processor is now six times faster than the first generation NextGuard system, supporting high-speed contaminant detection and inspection as well as improved user responsiveness
Optional 0.4mm-pixel detector offers 3.2 times better resolution for improved metal detection in lightweight, homogeneous products such as powders or cheese
