Inspection & Controls

X-Ray Inspection Systems

X-ray inspection finds metal, glass, ceramic, stone, bone, shell and hard plastic inside packed or loose product, and it is unaffected by temperature, moisture, salt or metallized film. The same image is also used for product checks — filling quantity, missing components, internal voids — so contamination and quality defects are judged in one pass. Pure supplies the inspection station, its reject handling and the conveying either side of it as part of the line, with a model chosen around your pack format, line speed and the defects you need to catch.
