Antares Vision Group recently introduced its new XR Bulk X-ray scanner system designed for inspecting food ingredients and raw materials such as cereals, rice, legumes, coffee, and sugar. Incorporating a novel vertical piping system, XR Bulk utilizes gravitational fall to inspect product for a wide range of contaminants while maintaining a contained, smooth product flow.
Historically, bulk product inspection in the food sector has relied either upon X-ray belt systems, which introduce product handling issues by changing the natural flow of goods, or vertical metal detectors, which often have detection limitations. Antares Vision Group’s XR Bulk is the first model on the market to combine appropriate product handling through a vertical pipe with the inspection power of X-ray technology. The result is streamlined incorporation of an important upstream layer of inspection for food products, well before final packaging and sealing.
