To inspect for irregularities in the shape of processed food products as well as contamination from unwanted foreign bodies, Mettler-Toledo Safeline has launched the new InspireX R40LF-800 system.


Designed  for the inspection of burgers, chicken nuggets and bakery products, the high-speed x-ray system offers sensitive contaminant detection and quality checks for mass and shape defects that affect cooking rates and pose a health threat to the consumer.


The new high-speed x-ray system offers exceptional detection of unwanted foreign bodies, such as bone, glass and metal as well as quality checks for mass and shape defects.
Unlike traditional bulk product x-ray systems, the InspireX R40LF-800 System is designed to inspect formed food products for quality parameters such as the roundness of a hamburger patty and indentations caused by defective forming.


The InspireX R40LF-800 System’s software enables it to monitor and track each patty or nugget as it passes through the system, ensuring correct identification of substandard products. By comparing each product as it passes through the x-ray system with a stored “ideal” food product image, it can detect size variations as small as 1mm. With user-friendly software, the system can be controlled by a full-colour touchscreen Human Machine Interface (HMI) and is able to scan across the full width of a conveyor belt, inspecting up to six product lanes simultaneously.
