X-Ray inspection for foreign object detection in bulk food products

The Thermo Scientific™ Xpert™ Bulk X-Ray Inspection Systems start where other contaminant detection approaches leave off. They are ideal for finding metal, glass, rock and other objects in bulk foods such as nuts, seeds, berries or vegetables. The systems come in two inspection widths to optimize throughput/cost and can be customized to fit your production environment.
