In the modern food manufacturing landscape, maintaining absolute productintegrity is no longer just a regulatory requirement—it is the cornerstone of
brand trust. For global food processors dealing with rigid packaging such as
tin cans, glass jars, and Tetra Pak containers, foreign object contamination
poses a severe threat.
To mitigate these risks, leading manufacturers are shifting fromtraditional metal detectors to advanced X-ray inspection systems. As a premier
Chinese pioneer specializing in the food safety inspection sector, VIXDETECTis at the forefront of this technological revolution, delivering highly
customized, HACCP-compliant X-ray inspection solutions tailored to the unique
challenges of the canning and bottling industries.
The Complex Challenges of Inspecting Bottles, Cans, andJars
Inspecting rigid packaging presents unique obstacles that standardinspection systems fail to address. Food manufacturers frequently encounter:
Blind Spots: The thick bottoms of glass jars, the ridges of tin cans, and the corners of polygonal containers often hide contaminants
from standard single-beam X-rays.
High-Speed Line Demands: Modern production lines move at blistering speeds, requiring inspection systems
that can keep pace without sacrificing accuracy.
False Rejection Rates (FRR): Variations in packaging thickness can trigger false alarms, leading to costly product
waste and unnecessary downtime.
Material Diversity: Contaminants are not limited to metal; bone, glass, stones, and high-density plastics also
threaten product safety.
To solve these industry-wide pain points, the VIXDETECT X-ray forBottles, Cans & Jars series leverages advanced detection technology andversatile hardware configurations to eliminate blind spots, lower the Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO), and protect brand reputation.
Core Advantages of VIXDETECT X-Ray Inspection Technology
The VIXDETECT product ecosystem is engineered around four core pillars:Sensitivity Optimization, Universal Compatibility, Strategic Foresight, and
Exceptional Design.
1. Sensitivity Optimization & Precision Imaging
Achieving high-precision detection requires a perfect synergy betweenhardware and software. VIXDETECT enhances detection accuracy through:
Multiple Hardware Combinations: Tailored X-ray sources and detectors maximize the contrast between the product and
foreign objects.
High-Bit Grayscale Imaging: Provides ultra-clear, high-resolution imagery, allowing the system to identify
minuscule foreign bodies that traditional systems miss.
Multi-Layered Detection Algorithms: Customized threshold algorithms dynamically adapt to the product's density variations,
drastically reducing the False Rejection Rate (FRR) while boosting
sensitivity.
2. Universal Compatibility & High-Speed Integration
Modern food factories cannot afford bottlenecks. VIXDETECT systemsare built to match the speed of high-throughput production environments:
Versatile Beam Configurations: Supports horizontal single-beam, angled single-beam, and multi-beam configurations
depending on the application.
Industry-Leading Speeds: Capable of seamlessly inspecting up to 1,800 containers per minute, ensuring zero drag on high-speed filling lines.
Seamless Line Integration: Designed with different detector specifications to ensure optimal performance
across diverse food matrixes.
3. Strategic Foresight: Future-Proofing Your Line
Packaging trends evolve, and VIXDETECT ensures your capitalinvestment remains secure.
Adaptive Software: The system flexibly adapts to production line upgrades, changes in packaging designs, or new
container styles.
Risk Mitigation: By reliably catching both metallic and non-metallic foreign objects, it protects retail
contracts, prevents catastrophic product recalls, and secures consumer
satisfaction.
4. Exceptional Design & Low Footprint
Floor space is premium real estate in any manufacturing plant. VIXDETECTaddresses this with tailored installation solutions:
Reduced Modification Costs: The compact footprint minimizes the need for extensive production line restructuring.
Integrated Conveyor Units: Available as an all-in-one conveyor-equipped unit to accelerate plug-and-play integration
into existing lines.

Model VXD-D1825-S: The Bottom Blind-Spot Eliminator
Traditional X-ray systems projecting a straight horizontal beam often misscontaminants settled at the dome or bottom rim of a tin can or glass jar.
The VIXDETECT Model VXD-D1825-S solves this by utilizing a singleX-ray source split into a horizontal beam and a customizable tilted beam. By
altering the viewing perspective, the tilted beam directly penetrates the
container bottoms. This eliminates traditional inspection blind spots, ensuring
that both metallic and non-metallic contaminants located in the most
challenging bottom areas are accurately identified and rejected.
Model VXD-D2253-D: Comprehensive Dual-View Mastery
For complex packaging geometries—such as tall Tetra Pak containers ormultifaceted polygonal glass jars—a single-view system is insufficient.
The VIXDETECT Model VXD-D2253-D employs an advanced dual-viewapproach featuring dual horizontally projected beams combined with an
additional angled beam. This system easily handles tall packaging profiles (up
to 270 mm in height). Because the X-ray beams penetrate through both thebottom and the sidewalls of the containers simultaneously, it offers a
360-degree comprehensive inspection solution that leaves no room for foreign
objects to hide.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Canned Food X-RayInspection
Can X-ray systems detect glass contaminants inside glassjars?
Yes. Because glass foreign objects have a slightly different density thanthe glass container itself, VIXDETECT’s high-bit grayscale imaging andcustomized threshold algorithms can successfully differentiate and detect
glass-in-glass contamination.
What is the maximum production line speed VIXDETECT canhandle?
The VIXDETECT series is engineered for high-output environments andcan inspect up to 1,800 containers per minute, integrating seamlesslyinto high-speed automation lines.
How does VIXDETECT help comply with HACCP standards?
HACCP requires identifying Critical Control Points (CCPs) where hazardscan be prevented. A VIXDETECT X-ray system serves as the ultimate CCP atthe end of the packaging line, automatically logging inspection data and
ensuring no contaminated products leave the facility.
