Detect contaminants inside bottles and vertical packages

The XSpectra® Lateral/Diagonal Inspection system from Xnext is designed for inline inspection of vertically oriented packaged products such as bottles, jars, cans, and flexible bags. The machine uses a lateral or diagonal inspection geometry that allows the X-ray beam to analyse products from the side rather than from above.

This inspection geometry improves contaminant detection in products with significant height or layered contents, where foreign bodies may otherwise be hidden when inspected from a vertical direction.The system uses the same XSpectra® spectral analysis technology, comparing absorption across up to 1,024 X-ray energy levels to identify differences between the product and potential contaminants. This allows detection of both dense contaminants such as metal or glass and low-density foreign bodies including plastics or organic material.

The machine performs multi-spectrum analysis of each product in milliseconds while it moves through the inspection area. This makes the system suitable for integration into high-speed food production lines where packaged products must be inspected continuously. Typical applications include inspection of bottles, jars, cans, and vertical flexible packaging such as biscuit bags, where reliable contaminant detection inside the product container is required.

Inspect bulk food products across a wider detection area

The XSpectra® Top Down Inspection XL system from Xnext is designed for inline inspection of bulk food products or products transported in multiple lanes. The machine features an extended inspection area of approximately 60 cm, allowing the system to analyse larger products or several product flows simultaneously.

Like other systems in the XSpectra® range, the machine uses multi-energy X-ray spectral analysis to identify contaminants. By analysing the absorption spectrum across up to 1,024 energy levels, the system differentiates between the product and foreign bodies based on material composition rather than density alone.

This technology enables detection of contaminants such as plastics, glass, stones, bones, or organic materials that are often difficult to detect with conventional inspection equipment. Each product is analysed within milliseconds while moving on the production line, allowing the system to maintain continuous inspection without affecting throughput.

The XL configuration is particularly suitable for inspecting bulk food products such as chicken patties, nuggets, filled pasta, and meat products, where large product surfaces or multiple product lanes must be monitored simultaneously. The machine integrates into food processing lines and can automatically activate rejection systems or alarms when contamination or product defects are detected.

Detect contaminants in packaged food with spectral X-ray analysis

The XSpectra® Top Down Inspection system from Xnext is an inline inspection machine designed to detect foreign bodies and product defects in packaged food products. The system inspects products from above using a vertical inspection geometry that allows reliable analysis of compact packaged products travelling on a conveyor line.

The machine uses XSpectra® multi-energy X-ray technology, which performs spectral analysis of the product using up to 1,024 energy levels. Instead of analysing only density differences, the system compares the absorption spectrum of each inspected product with that of potential contaminants. This allows the machine to detect both high-density contaminants (such as glass, metal, or stones) and low-density foreign bodies including plastics, insects, bones, or organic material that are difficult to identify with conventional inspection technologies.

During operation, each product passing on the line is scanned in milliseconds, enabling full inline inspection without slowing production throughput. The system can also verify product conformity and detect structural anomalies inside the product itself. This inspection geometry is particularly suited for compact packaged products such as dairy products, filled pasta, fresh salads, and frozen foods. The machine integrates easily into existing food processing lines and can automatically trigger rejection systems when contaminants are detected

Panoramic X-Ray machine with mobile emission source for glass jars and bottles

The Raybox Panoramic from Raytec is an X-Ray inspection system designed specifically to offer 100% coverage of glass bottles and jars.

Featuring an x-ray transparent conveyor, the RayBox Panoramic examines the product by aligning the source with the jar lid, and using panoramic vision it inspects the cover and bottom of the container.

Running at line speeds of up to 100m per minute, the Raybox Panoramic can inspect jars with diameters up to 160mm for maximum flexibility.

The system can detect and reject jars containing high density foreign objects such as metal, glass, ceramic, stone, Viton rubber, and so on. In addition the system can reject fallen jars, glass defects, low filling levels and incomplete twist cap seating.

For rejecting defects the RayBox is fitted with electro-pneumatic actuators that enables containers of any size to be ejected with high precision.
