X-Ray Inspection for Glass, Jar and Can Lines

Protect Product Quality

Referred as the “side up”, the Glass, Jar and Can Line works best for food or non-food products in glass or plastic containers like jars or bottles. X-Ray systems inspect for a full range of possible contaminants including metallic, and non-metallic (glass, ceramic, stone, bone, rubber, plastic etc.). Cassel X-rays can inspect metallic and non-metallic packaging and canned goods. Inspection is not affected by temperature, humidity, salt content or any other product effects.

        How It Works

        X-Ray inspection is sorting based on product density. An X-Ray inspection machine takes an image that is pixel based. The machine compares pixel density to stored pictures of “good” product to detect defects and contaminants. If the density of a product falls outside of acceptable range the reject mechanism removes the contaminated product out of the product flow.
