Optimum Value X-ray detection- IX-GN Series
Contact usFlexible X-ray inspection for complex food products
Identify contaminants in the broadest range of products
The IX-GN X-ray inspection system offers exceptional quality control for multiple products. Optimise food safety and foreign body detection and protect your brand, retailers, and customers.Â
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 food industry to develop unique imaging analyses.GA means you enjoy the best detection sensitivity for your product and any foreign bodies faster and more efficiently.
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.

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.
