Maintain the insight – ensure quality MESUTRONIC presents new foreign body detector at the IFFA 2016

MESUTRONIC Gerätebau GmbH is presenting the new "easySCOPE" foreign body detector at the IFFA 2016. The x-ray inspection system conceived for the examination of packed products extends MESUTRONIC’s range of products for the food industry. Even for newcomers to X-ray technology, this unit represents the ideal entry into this method of foreign body control with its moderate price, high-quality and thus low-maintenance components, as well as extremely intuitive operation.

The system detects metallic and non-metallic contaminants such as glass, stones or plastics using an imaging technique – X-ray technology. Electromagnetic waves are emitted by the generator and penetrate the product. On the opposite side the non-absorbed radiation is picked up by the X-ray detector. The detection of the foreign body is then based on the evaluation of the difference in density between the product and the contaminant. In particular with aluminium-packed or other highly conductive products, the detection accuracy exceeds that of conventional magnetic-field-based metal detectors several times over.

It is compliant with common industry standards such as BRC or IFS as well as all legal standards; extensive reports and statistical functions help with the complete logging of all events. The hygienic design from MESUTRONIC prevents the accumulation of liquids and product residues, thus inhibiting the growth of microbes. The development work focused on the simple interaction of man and machine. A powerful industrial PC offers the user a clear operating interface, allowing intuitive operation of the appliance. All relevant functions, processes and recordings can be accessed on the high-resolution, 15-inch touch screen with just a few touches. Various advanced image processing and detection algorithms complete the advantages of the easySCOPE – and all of that at no additional cost.

MESUTRONIC Gerätebau GmbH has been manufacturing metal detectors, metal separators and X-ray inspection systems for over 20 years. From its headquarters in Kirchberg im Wald the company supplies customers all over the world in segments such as food, pharmaceuticals and hygiene.
