X38
Safety for Pumped Products The X38 x-ray system can inspect pumped products such as slurries, semi-solids and fluids, ensuring food safety before final packaging and further value is added to the product.
Wide Range of Food Applications
This food x-ray system covers a wide range of pipeline applications including jam, yoghurt, fruit purees, minced meat, chicken pieces and more.
Hygienically Designed
Class-leading hygienic design following GMP, NFS and EHEDG principles with IP69 as standard and highly featured CIP (clean in place) features.
High Throughputs
Inspection at a rate of up to 14 tonnes of pumped product per hour. Automatic calibration can be performed in less than 20 seconds, maximising uptime.
