It's in the can for product inspection

Mettler Toledo Safeline's CanCheK X-ray inspection system is set to revolutionise contaminant detection in the processed food industry.

With innovative multi-beam technology and adaptive filtering software, the CanCheK system offers superior detection sensitivity, and is able to identify a wide range of foreign bodies.

For manufacturers in sectors such as baby food, tinned fruit and vegetables, processed meat and fish, ready meals, soups, snacks, and tinned desserts, the CanCheK system assures complete brand protection.

In a typical traditional vertical beam inspection system, the densest areas of the can - the top, base and sidewalls - appear on the operator screen as dark elongated edges. Contaminants lying next to the sidewalls or flat on the bottom of the can are difficult to identify because they are also shown as dark, elongated shapes.

Using a horizontal multi-beam system, the CanCheK inspects through the cross-section of the can.

Because of the angle of the beams, contaminants are pulled away from the sidewalls, increasing visibility in at least one of the X-ray images. This dramatically increases the sensitivity and the probability of detection.
