Optimum Value X-ray detection- IX-GN Series
Contact usFlexible X-ray inspection for complex food products
Identify foreign bodies in the broadest range of products
The IX-GN X-ray inspection system offers exceptional quality control for multiple product types. Optimise food safety and foreign body detection and protect your brand, retailers, and customers.
The X-ray system’s sensitivity enables the inspection of challenging products, like cereals, sausage packs, and yoghurt pots. Patented Genetic Algorithm (GA) technology allows the system to be optimised to enhance detection for specific foreign body risks. GA means you enjoy the best detection sensitivity for your product and any foreign bodies are indentified more efficiently and with higher probability.
See contaminants as tiny as a poppy seed or pinhead
The average size of a grain of sand is 0.5mm. The IX-GN X-ray food inspection can detect stainless steel as minuscule as 0.4-0.6mm.
Detecting impurities
The Optimum Value X-ray food inspection system spots contaminants passing through your production line, such as:

DownloadFood producers benefit from variable voltage settings
The IX-GN Series utilises a Beryllium X-ray tube, making the best use of the ability to vary the voltage to lower energy settings. The lower the voltage, the higher the absorption difference. Reducing the voltage creates sharper product images, enhancing the detection of lower-density foreign bodies that X-ray machines at higher voltages could miss.
