Hi, we're looking at doing some work with dried goods - flours, chocolate drops, cocoa powder etc. Looking at X-ray over Metal detection as the packaging is in foil bags. Any ideas on the costs for a basic entry level x-ray machine for smaller packs maybe up to 2.5kg? Many thanks :)

Is it ok?

Are you in the UK?

If so, I suggest you contact them directly.
And I am looking forward to letting them know that this is a Planck's suggestion from China. :)

 

This machine is very cheap, I think it can meet your needs.

You never contact them??

Note that some MD's are capable of scanning Al foil packaging.

This may need special attention, I have been paying attention to this machine, of course until now I am not still very understanding!

However, the aluminum foil packaging product cannot be directly detected according to the working principle of standard MD.

If you must use it, I think it is almost impossible to achieve the expected sensitivity.

A relatively simple and reliable method is to verify the standard metal test pieces instead of the test pieces provided by this machine.
