A&D Inspection
For companies in the food and beverage industry, achieving 100% product inspection is critical to safety and brand protection. With touchpoints from receiving through quality assurance to manufacturing, plus inspecting or reworking finished goods prior to shipment, the earlier in the process an issue is detected, the less expensive it is to correct. Automated checkweighers for processing and inline metal detectors, such as the DeteX series, help ensure quality and manage the risk of metal contamination of processed product.
Antares Vision North America
Antares Vision offers a wide range of innovative visual inspection systems to detect defects on high speed, automatic pharmaceutical processing lines. Process inspection equipment includes the Antares Vision Tablets and Capsules Inspector, an automatic standalone machine designed to inspect pharmaceutical products at a high throughput with resolution up to 50 μm. Inspects for size discrepancies, shape defects, dots, dirt, cracks, color differences, embossing, coating imperfections, chipped products and much more.
Bizerba USA, Inc.
For inline metal detection during processing, Bizerba USA offers the VARICON+ Metal Detector, designed for quick and reliable detection of all ferrous and non-ferrous metals in packaged and unpackaged piece goods. The compact metal detection system offers safe performance and highest detection sensitivity. With its robust stainless steel conveyor belt construction the VARICON+ inspects piece goods of up to 50 kg. A very short metal-free zone (MZ) ensures interference-resistant, reliable inline metal detection. To suit the area of installation the system is available with a modular belt (wet area) or a flat belt (dry area). The conveyor belts are available with variable belt widths. The motor controller is fitted either with a conveyor stop in case of metal detection or an application-specific rejection system. For easy and thorough cleaning the VARICON+ series has a hygienic design.

BUNTING
The quickTRON™ 07 is a highly hygienic metal detector for inspection of material in gravity free-fall applications. It offers fully automatic detection and rejection of metallic contaminants from the product stream without process interruption.
Eagle Product Inspection
Eagle’s inline food x-ray inspection systems are designed for the detection and removal of foreign contaminants including glass shards (even in glass bottles and jars), metal (including metalized film packaging), mineral stone, some plastic and rubber compounds and calcified bone for a broad range of industries. Applications include calcified bone and foreign body detection for poultry and contaminants and fat analysis for red meat processing. Technologically-advanced food x-ray inspection equipment increases production productivity and saves manufacturing costs by simultaneously performing the following quality checks in just one pass, including fill level inspection, mass measurement, seal inspection and component counts. Featured machines include the Pack 400 HC detector, with PXT™ detector technology capable of detecting contaminants and bone fragments that would otherwise go unseen to the naked eye.
