Glass Detection with X-Rays

Hello friends,

Who has experience with the detection of glass pieces with X-rays?

Are X-Rays efficient/reliable in glass detection in food products?


Thnx

Rayonics Italia, a team with extensive experience in x-ray inspection systems for packaging and food processing quality control, has developed a modular system for the inspection of glass jars and bottles.
The system can handle all formats up to 4.25 litre jars and has been designed to increase detection performance: for foreign bodies thinner than 3 mm or on the sidewalls of square-shaped containers. www.rayonics.it.


Hope you will find what you are looking for!

The X-Ray where I work has supplier provided calibration pieces of glass, ceramic, rubber, aluminium and stainless steel of varying sizes. I have never had a failed or incomplete result for the glass calibration piece. Also keep in mind X-Rays detect by density so even things along the lines of fruit seeds come up looking like a small black stones in your product which will cause the X-Ray to reject it. Yes settings could be adjusted to stop this but I would rather be safe than sorry!
I would recommend talking to suppliers of X-Ray machines, they would be able to give you the best answers as to what would be suitable for glass detection in your product(s).

Thank you both for your valuable suggestions and information


regards

Yannis

Hi Yannis,

I am from x-ray manufacturing company. X-ray system can reliably detect glass pieces but I will also add that the size of glass that can be detected depends on application details. We also offer specialized model for glass-in-glass inspection.

I would be happy to assist further on your specific requirements. You can contact me at kiran.deochake@eaglepi.com for speicific details.

Regards.

I'm going on a course next week regarding foreign object detection and will definitely see what's to offer regarding x trays

Thanks for all the info
