Bulk Product X-Ray Sorting

Foreign material is removed in-line, before anything is packed: bulk product flowing on a wide belt is scanned continuously, and on detection only the defective zone is diverted out by an air jet or flap. Minimum product loss, maximum tonnage.

Advantages

Why This Type?

Multi-Channel Sorting

Multi-channel software and multi-channel air rejection deliver accurate sorting at high speed — efficiency goes up and unit cost comes down.

Spherical-Product Design

A design tailored to spherical bulk products such as hazelnuts and pistachios — high-speed, accurate rejection of foreign material.

Zoned Rejection — Minimum Product Loss

Only the defective strip of product is ejected, not a whole pack; product loss is many times lower than with end-of-line systems.

Machine Protection

Installed upstream of crushers, mills, and slicers, the X-ray keeps stone and metal from reaching your expensive equipment.

Radiation-Free Curtain, Safe Build

A safety enclosure built for bulk flow with a radiation-free curtain design — hygienic, safe, and a clean fit for your line.
