Newsdesk Info - International Food Safety & Quality Network. Smiths Detection newest system 'The Eagle QuadView' offers the only glass in glass X-ray inspection system in the market designed for 100% inspection of the crown of a jar. Inspecting for glass contaminants has been a longstanding problem for the glass container industry and the Eagle QuadView was developed after a large multi-national producer of glass-packaged food products approached Smiths about correcting this detection deficiency.

After two years in research and development, the patented Eagle QuadView was released. The machine looks at each product from four different angles, by directing four X-ray beams on each container; the Eagle QuadView literally leaves contaminants no place to hide, even on lines operating more than 400 feet per minute. Multiple views also mean fewer false rejects, substantially lowering the amount of wasted product. Installing the equipment at the end of line allows containers to be inspected when sealed, preventing any further contamination.

To further improve contaminant detection in glass jars and bottles, Mettler Toledo Safeline introduces a new x-ray-invisible conveyor belt. Available with its GlassCheK Quad x-ray inspection system, the new conveyor belt features a slat band modular design to facilitate high-speed handling of glass containers in various sizes. The new belt combined with the proven detection sensitivity of Mettler Toledo Safeline’s x-ray inspection systems helps food manufacturers strengthen food safety and efficiency. Due to variation in the thickness of glass walls and bases, which can be as large as 20%, the identification of foreign bodies in glass jars is challenging. Mettler Toledo Safeline’s x-ray inspection systems for glass containers have overcome this challenge. The systems ensure fast and reliable detection of contaminants such as glass, metal, stone, bone and high-density plastic, regardless of their shape or location within the glass container.
