World leaders in X-ray....

Inspection of Foil and Metallised Film Packaging

X-ray inspection systems work on absorption difference rather than conductivity. X-ray systems can therefore detect ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel even in foil or metallised film packaging. In addition X-ray systems do not suffer from changes in product temperature or moisture, thus ensuring minimum false rejects.

Brand protection made easier

The AdvanCheK Plus X-ray system is built on the benefits of the highly successful standard AdvanChek. On a single user interface the AdvanCheK Plus offers excellent detection of foreign bodies in small and medium sized retail packs and can simultaneously perform gross mass measurement for calculated portion control with servo feedback to the filling machine; reducing giveaway and avoiding any non-compliance.

X Ray inspection of tall rigid containers

X-ray inspection systems for tall rigid containers are primarily used for packaged products that are taller than they are wide such as composite cans, juice bricks / blocks, PET bottles, glass jars and metal cans.

Finding glass contamination inside glass? 'No problem'

The GlassCheK Quad X-ray inspection system is most suitable for the inspection of wide neck and non-uniform glass jars. Its software plots the individual dimensions of every glass jar that passes through the X-ray beam, detecting contaminants in the product as well as possible inclusions in the glass jar itself.

Greatest probability of detection within a glass jar

The GlassCheK Quad uses four X-ray beams – one vertical and three horizontal beams - to ensure the greatest coverage and probability of detection within the jar. Its angled beams and adaptive software reduce blind spots and optimise detection in the most challenging areas such as the base, sidewalls and neck of the jar ensuring product safety. 

SAFELINE’s adaptive technology also overcomes the challenge of the varying thickness of glass in jars by maintaining optimal sensitivity of detection.

X-ray inspection of bulk products

X-ray inspection systems can inspect loose products before being packaged or added as an ingredient to a finished product.

Typical applications include grains, peanuts, extruded snacks, dried fruits, tea/coffee, powders, vegetables and pulses.

Consideration should be given to the location of X-ray inspection systems for bulk products in the production line. When placed early in the process, X-ray systems can inspect the incoming goods or raw materials. Contaminants can be removed at source and immediately traced back to the supplier

Al Thika Packaging LLC have supplied more than 300 Safeline metal detector and X-ray systems throughout the Gulf, with installations in Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Kuwait, Qatar and Oman. Our staff have been trained at Safeline's UK headquarters and we carry stocks of critical spare parts. It is essential when choosing X-ray equipment that your supplier is FULLY conversant with the health and safety aspects of installation, and can provide on going certification that the installation is safe and that the equipment is being operated and maintained correctly. Al Thika Packaging LLC can provide such service.

We have the facility to test your products on our demonstration systems in Dubai, or can arrange for testing on specialist types of X-ray detector in the UK.

If you require X-ray detection as part of your manufacturing process, please call us for professional advice regarding your application. No two customers' requirements are alike and we take great care to specify and build Safeline systems to meet your demands precisely.
