THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC

Thermo Scientific’s new Xpert S400 is cost-effective horizontal beam X-ray system. It’s been specifically engineered to detect metal, glass, dense plastics and other foreign objects in vertically oriented containers such as metal cans, plastic bottles, cartons and standup pouches. The S400’s compact length enables placement into tight production spaces and the X-ray source/detector height easily adjusts to match the customer’s conveyor passing through the inspection tunnel.

ANRITSU

Anritsu’s Dual Wave H offers versatile metal detection solutions for the food industry. Multiple frequencies are built in so a processor can run two frequencies simultaneously to maximize detection of ferrous and stainless metals independent of each other. This detection system has a small footprint and can be dismantled for cleaning and sanitation without tools. This is ideal for dairy  processing plants in order to easily take the machine down, clean it and assemble it back together again without tools.
