Loma Systems recently unveiled its new X5 Pack Curtainless X-Ray System, designed to eliminate traditional X-ray curtains and allow for the inspection of food without contact.

The removal of curtains enables lightweight products to undergo X-ray inspection without getting jammed or jostled, reducing the risk of false rejects and delivering higher accuracy and efficiency of inspection. For unpackaged or unsealed dry products, curtain-free inspection eliminates a point of cross-contamination and improves cleanability of the system.

The X5 Pack Curtainless features an incline/decline conveyor design, protective shields, and safety features, helping limit X-ray emissions to levels below regulatory requirements. The system’s baffle plates remove line of sight into the X-ray beam and restrict the aperture height to 85 millimeters (mm), significantly reducing emissions to less than 1 microsievert per hour (μSv/hr) without the need for aluminum filtering.

With its set-up wizard, the X5 Pack Curtainless can learn and switch between products within minutes. The latest digital technology from Loma improves image quality, allowing for detection of a wide range of contaminants, including all metal, bone, glass, dense plastics, foil trays, and metalized film. The reliable heavy-duty conveyor components, built for continuous operation, include a passkey-protected set-up, an integrated PC with ethernet connectivity, and a front-access USB port.

Additionally, to ensure high throughput, the system efficiently handles multi-lane or bulk-flowing food products.
