Dyxim X-rays detect and discharge contaminants

Sartorius has brought out the Dyxim series of X-ray inspection systems, which accurately detects contaminated products and discharges them safely.

These inspections are carried out automatically and are documented so that data can be provided for the statistical evaluation of the control process.

The main focus of the Dyxim X-ray system is on the control points at which products can be checked for contaminants.

X-ray inspection systems can detect contaminants such as ceramics, bones with high calcium-content, glass, stones, high-density plastics and cavities and rips in products.

They can also detect metal contaminations in metal containers, metallic foils or in containers with metal closures.

Even products with a high product-effect (such as a high salt and/or moisture content) that influences the sensitivity of conventional metal detectors, pose no problems for the Dyxim X-ray inspection systems.

The Sartorius Dyxim X-ray Inspection Systems can also: monitor form, volume, dimensions, fill level and weight; check for completeness; and detect cracks in products.

All Sartorius Dyxim systems can be operated by a 15in LCD colour monitor with touch-screen controls.

The devices are easy to clean and maintain, thanks to their stainless steel housing (optional IP65 protection is available).

All Dyxim units work automatically within the production line.

There is no need for special operating personnel or extensive operator training.

The Sartorius Dyxim X-ray inspection systems are available in three configurations.

The Dyxim FB flat-bed scanner series can inspect products in cartons, plastic bags, metallised film and loose goods.

Belt speeds of up to 70 m/min and a detector resolution of 0.4 - 0.8mm ensure rapid and precise contaminant detection.

The Dyxim S single series is suitable for detecting contaminants in foods and beverages, packaged upright containers or in jars, metal cans and bottles.

The Dyxim S series is designed for tall containers and uses a single X-ray sensor.

The Dyxim D series comprises a core of two X-ray sensors installed at right angles to each other.

The Dyxim D series is particularly suitable for glass-in-glass applications.

Contaminants located directly under the lid, in curved areas or on the sides of a container can be detected with the Dyxim D double scanner X-ray inspection system.
