Eriez® launches X8 metal detector

The new system reportedly pairs contaminant detection with operator-friendly controls to improve purity and productivity across demanding processing environments, combining “advanced” sensing technology, auto-learning capabilities, and an intuitive touchscreen interface.

Reportedly available in a wide range of configurations, including tunnel, tunnel with conveyor, liquid line, vertical drop, vertical form fill seal (VFFS), pharmaceutical, and webline models, the X8 integrates “seamlessly” into new or existing production lines. Its heavy-duty stainless-steel construction and IP69 washdown rating provide long-lasting durability and consistent performance, even in the most rigorous operating conditions.

The system also features a high-resolution touchscreen, while auto-learning algorithms quickly adapt to new products, ensuring repeatable and accurate results. Built-in connectivity, including USB, Ethernet, and optional Wi-Fi, offers instant access to event and reject logs, creating a detailed audit trail that supports compliance with HACCP, GFSI, SQF, FSMA, and other global safety standards. IoT-ready features are said to boost traceability, streamline recordkeeping, reduce false rejects, save time, and help minimize product waste.

Earlier this year, Minebea Intec announced the expansion of its portfolio with the launch of a new X-ray inspection system, Dylight S, for upright containers, featuring sideshooter technology for more precise detection of foreign bodies in products with light and complex packaging.

This summer, Antares Vision Group launched an AI-driven visual inspection platform in collaboration with Oròbix. AI-GO, an artificial intelligence-driven visual inspection platform was developed to meet growing needs for faster, more accurate and adaptable inspection processes
