Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has announced the launch of its X6 Series, a next-generation x-ray inspection system for medium to large packaged food products and multi-lane applications. The X6 Series, which includes the X16 and X36.2 models, brings advanced detection capabilities for contaminants like metal, glass, and stone, aiming to elevate food safety standards while boosting production efficiency.
The X16 system is an entry-level solution for high-speed inspections up to 60 meters per minute, designed to detect foreign bodies and perform quality checks, such as product mass and fill level monitoring. Its user-friendly interface and streamlined cleaning capabilities help manufacturers reduce downtime. The more advanced X36.2 model, featuring Mettler-Toledo’s HiGain+ detectors and ContamPlus™ software, achieves detection speeds up to 100 meters per minute. It offers comprehensive integrity checks for larger, faster-paced production lines, handling up to 1,000 items per minute depending on package size.
Both models are designed for ease of maintenance, with tool-free conveyor belt removal and hygienic front-opening designs that cut cleaning time. The X6 Series supports integration with ProdX™ data management software, providing real-time monitoring and data analysis to facilitate regulatory compliance and identify areas for productivity improvements. Service contracts and a five-year generator warranty further enhance the X6 Series’ value, giving manufacturers peace of mind and cost-effective maintenance options.
Mettler-Toledo’s X6 Series represents an accessible step-up in food safety, balancing advanced features with a cost-effective approach for manufacturers seeking robust inspection and quality control to meet stringent compliance standards.
