Many products are processed in a pipeline before being packed into their eventual containers. This is often the ideal place to perform X-ray inspection, since the orientation and position of the product can be controlled very accurately.

Typical Applications

Safeline X-ray systems are installed in numerous plants to inspect products in pipelines. These include metal detection in soups and sauces, as well as bone detection in processed meat.

X-ray solutions

• Safeline has developed an X-ray system specifically for pipeline inspection: the InspireX R70.

• This system has an automatic calibration feature so that there is no need to remove the equipment from the pipeline at any time.

InsireX R70 from Safeline: providing optimum protection for your products, your customers and the reputation of your brands.

Safeline’s Inspirex R70 comprises a pipe line format system that fits within the on- line and off- line processes, inspecting fluid and semi-solid products.

A computer-controlled “low energy” X-ray generator and powerful computer data and image analysis system combine to make Safeline inspection systems superior at detecting minute changes that signal product contamination or deviation from accepted specifications. Sophisticated image processing software also provides rapid analysis, detection and rejection - automatically.

Real-time analysis
Ensures all of the product is fully inspected.

Monitoring of product
Provides for maximum, consistent product quality - whether inspecting for naturally occurring or artificially introduced contaminants.

Detection and elimination of contaminants
Including metal, stone, glass, bone, high-density plastic and product agglomerates.

Multiple Configurations
The pipe diameter can be selected to match the existing line configuration.
