Thermo Fisher Scientific EZx 465 Touchless x-ray detection system
The EZx 465 Touchless x-ray detection system is suitable for lightweight and open-container food product contaminent detection. According to the manufacturer, the system is engineered to eliminate the shielding curtains typically used to block radiation while keeping compliant with all global safety standards; heavy lead or no-lead curtains frequently prevent lightweight products such as metalized snack bags from being conveyed through the x-ray chamber, resulting in production line jams and downtime. It reportedly eliminates the need for shielding curtains by conveying the product through the inspection chamber via a series of small slopes. Additionally, the unit also features an aperture with reduced height, intended to ensure that x-ray scatter does not escape from the inlet or outlet areas of the system. The product comes with a 15.75-in.-wide belt, can handle products up to 2.5 in. high and its maximum belt speed is 328 fpm.
