NextGuard™ X-ray Detection System

Meet a broad range of food safety and quality requirements with the Thermo Scientific™ NextGuard™ X-ray Detection System.

An affordable foreign object detection system for a wide variety of food applications, the NextGuard X-ray Detection System is now designed with enhanced capabilities to inspect packaged products for missing pieces or components, under and over-fills, and contaminants using new, easily customizable vision software. It is an easy-to-use, cost effective and thoughtfully designed system that eliminates common barriers to transitioning from metal detection to x-ray detection.


Features:

• Product verification software option allows users to execute a wide range of size, position and count inspections.
• Additional algorithms target the detection of less dense contaminants such as glass or rocks in complex, textured products such as nuts or tea bag boxes.
• Optional mass estimation software uses the density information in the X-ray image to estimate weight and detect under/over filled products.
• Configurable for dual rejection, separating contaminated products from other quality errors.
• Standard system processor is now six times faster than the first generation NextGuard system, supporting high-speed contaminant detection and inspection as well as improved user responsiveness.
• Optional 0.4mm-pixel detector offers 3.2 times better resolution for improved metal detection in lightweight, homogeneous products such as powders or cheese.

Benefits:

• Compact size for easy installation and use
• Unique non-linear detector to eliminate inspection blind spots
• Removable conveyor for simple directional change and maintenance
• Intuitive Thermo Scientific™ VersaWeigh™ user interface and software
• Modular design for high reliability and quick diagnosis and repair
• Source and detector lifetime indicators to minimize expensive downtime
• Built-in remote monitoring for quick problem determination
