Ishida IX Series is a system for detecting foreign objects intermixed in food and other products by X-raying the products as they move along a conveyor.

Metallic objects and bone, shell, gravel, glass, resin, rubber and other foreign objects can be detected.  Moreover, foreign objects inside aluminum packaging and metal cans can be detected.

Principles of X-ray inspection

• X-rays are produced by anode targets with thermo electrons from cathode filaments inside an X-ray tube.
• The radiated X-rays pass through the food product to be inspected and a line sensor is subjected to the transmitted X-rays.

• The X-ray transmission received by the line sensor is converted to electric signals.

• An image processing system converts the signals to x-ray transparent images and processes that image with Ishida's original 5-level processing technology to detect contamination and defection of product.
