The hygienic Icon X-ray includes an integrated reject device, with the option to add other features, including shielded sliding doors, label inspection and internal view cameras.
To optimise efficiency, the Icon X-ray system can also be fully integrated with a Fortress Raptor checkweigher. Installed at the end of production lines, other special features include the option to add internal view cameras and Vyper Vision label inspection, as well as an integrated automatic reject device to save valuable floor space.
The IA+ algorithm developed by Fortress Technology’s dedicated X-ray experts enables the machine to adapt to variable density products that present with metal, ceramic, glass and high-density plastic contaminants. Time-saving sanitation features include bevelled surfaces to promote water runoff, easily removable magnetic X-ray curtains, a quick release tight-fitting conveyor and IP69k-rated sensors.
Prioritising user safety, processors can select from either internal cameras or optional transparent high-density windows on the sliding access panels to vigilantly monitor product status and immediately address operational bottlenecks. The self-contained stainless steel cabinet means no additional shielding or guarding is needed to meet X-ray exposure requirements.
Data integration and reporting is included in the standard Icon X-ray package. The option of communication adapters enables users to customise data collection.
