Mettler-Toledo launches AdvanCheK Plus

The AdvanCheK Plus is a fast, reliable and economical way to introduce x-ray inspection into food production lines. It delivers superior sensitivity over traditional detection methods and combines contaminant detection with gross mass measurement, for guaranteed product safety and quality.

This new system ensures the detection of foreign bodies such as metal, stone, glass, bone and high density plastic, when they're wrapped in foil or metalised film packaging, at a standard inspection speed of up to 500 packs per minute. Depending on pack size, faster line speeds are possible without compromising sensitivity or reliability.

Niall McRory, European sales and marketing manager, Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray, said: “The AdvanCheK Plus is an advanced inspection system. It offers contaminant detection and mass measurement simultaneously on every pack from one simple and easy to use colour-sealed industrial touch screen and intuitive interface. Building on the success of AdvanCheK, the new system delivers increased functionality, as well as improved sensitivity thanks to the five optimised filters checking for contaminants. Because the AdvanCheK Plus can store and retrieve reject images, manufacturers can prevent future contamination by investigating, identifying and dealing with the source.”

The new AdvanCheK Plus offers a flexible approach to product inspection, with communication via USB or ethernet, directly or via the OMAC-compliant OPC server available. Housed in a state of the art X-Pod, the electronics are easily accessible in a user-friendly modular design for quick servicing.
