Our devices for a reliable foreign

object and defect detection
From metal detection to glass in glass detection.

Contamination inside. Full container out.

Glass splinters, metal fragments, stones, paper or scraps of film: contamination with foreign objects is one of the
most frequent causes of product recalls. It poses a serious health hazard to the consumer. You can eliminate this
with HEUFT. Contaminated full containers are identified and rejected reliably whilst still on the line. Whether high
or low density foreign objects or opaque or transparent: the most varied types of contamination are detected pre-
cisely using the right technology. Even faults barely noticeable with the naked eye cannot escape the inspection.
This creates maximum product safety.

 Pulsed X-ray technology

MAXIMUM PRECISION AND

MINIMUM RADIATION!
HEUFT X-ray systems identify foreign objects, product faults and packaging
defects both precisely and carefully. In contrast to the conventional X-ray scanner
their unique pulsed X-ray technology only emits radiation at the moment when a
product to be examined is in the inspection area. And that as an X-ray flash lasting
just a thousandth of a second.

The extremely short exposure time prevents motion

blurs and reduces the average radiation exposure by a
factor of 1,000.

No product is exposed to a higher dose than is absolutely necessary. Thus an X-ray

strobe only emits radiation for 36 seconds when inspecting 36,000 containers
per hour. As a result there is no emission whatsoever during 99 % of the time. By
contrast, conventional X-ray scanners emit radiation continuously for 60 minutes.
That alone makes the pulsed X-ray technology unique.

Combined with innovative full-field image converters it

achieves an unprecedented dimension in range, speed
and detection accuracy.

The size of the foreign objects which can be reliably identified has been halved!
