Mettler-Toledo Unveils New X-Ray System

Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection introduces the new X6 Series, offering a product safety upgrade for medium to large-sized packaged products and multi-lane applications.

The X6 Series consisting of the X16 and X36.2 x-ray inspection systems presents a range of new features that provide precise contamination detection across single or multiple lanes. Both solutions can inspect medium to large-sized products (500-600mm in length) while also maximizing productivity through easy-to-use design improvements.

Designed for Large Packages & Multi-Lane Applications

The X6 models feature advanced detection technology but are specifically designed for larger product formats. With multi-lane capabilities, the X6 Series makes inspection for manufacturers handling bigger products or multiple packages per line, quicker and easier. This provides flexibility for food and beverage brands that require efficient inspection solutions for varying product sizes and configurations.

X16 X-Ray Inspection System

The X16 is an entry-level x-ray solution for medium- to large-sized products with a HiGain detector, offering excellent detection of contaminants such as metal, glass, stone, bone, and low-density materials across single or multi-lanes. The system can support products up to 300mm in height with conveyor speeds up to 60 m per minute also performs additional quality and integrity checks, enhancing product safety beyond just contamination detection. These checks include monitoring for correct product placement, mass component count, fill level and identifying damaged packaging. The X16 is designed to maximize production uptime with its intuitive user interface, simplified cleaning routines and reliable subsystems, reducing costly downtime.

X36.2 X-ray Inspection System

For more advanced inspection needs, the X36.2 offers high-level detection capabilities for medium to large packaged products. With HiGain+ detector technology and ContamPlus software, the X36.2 offers completeness and integrity checks, identifying small foreign bodies plus missing or broken products. The system is highly customizable, with single or multi-lane configurations and numerous reject bin options. It can accommodate even higher throughputs with speeds of up to 100 meters per minute and the ability to handle over 1,000 products per minute, depending on product size.

Smart Industrial Design to Reduce Cleaning Downtime

Both the X16 and X36.2 feature significant mechanical upgrades over legacy solutions plus completely new designs that improve belt removal and simplify service and maintenance routines. These design improvements mean that operators can clean and maintain the systems quickly, minimizing downtime. The front-opening hygienic design allows for easy access during cleaning and service, while the conveyor belt can be swiftly removed without the need for tools, making maintenance more efficient than ever.
