System Square and Prospection Solutions to Debut X-Ray Technology at Pack Expo - Quality Assurance & Food Safety

Posted by Jackie Mitchell

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In partnership with System Square, Prospection Solutions is set to unveil its high-resolution dual-energy x-ray inspection system at Pack Expo from Nov. 3-6 in Chicago. This event marks the debut of this technology in the United States.

X-ray inspection systems are pivotal to modern quality control, utilizing advanced generators and sensors to automatically detect foreign objects in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and industrial products.

The SXM2 Series Dual-Energy X-Ray Systems incorporate high-resolution sensors, differential energy imaging and on-board artificial intelligence algorithms. These technologies provide enhanced contrast and resolution, enabling the system to detect even the smallest contaminants within the most challenging products, said Prospection Solutions.

The SXS2 Series X-Ray + Optical Seal Inspection Systems merge X-ray and optical sensors to deliver a comprehensive inspection solution. This system not only detects foreign objects and verifies package weight, dimensions, shape and defects, but also performs seal monitoring. By overlaying X-ray and optical images, the SXS2 can detect seal contamination from liquids and solids in trays and flexible packaging, even through printed, colored and aluminum films.

In addition to X-ray systems, metal detection systems play a critical role in production environments by identifying metal contamination through non-contact inspection.

The SD Series Metal Detection Systems feature multi-frequency inspection capabilities, high resistance to coil interference and proprietary software that minimizes product influence on detection accuracy, said Prospection Solutions. With patent-pending automatic balancing features, the SD Series ensures detection consistency over time, the company said. The interface, data management tools and hygienic designs are designed to help prevent food loss, protect brands and enhance consumer safety.
