The X37 Series range can easily be integrated onto existing customer lines, manufacturers can maintain high volume production targets and do not have to reduce line speeds

Extending its range of next generation X-ray inspection systems, Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray has designed the X37 Series for optimum product inspection of tall, rigid containers, including cartons, doypacks, plastic and glass containers and metal cans. Available in a number of flexible technology alternatives, the X37 Series can be configured with different detector sensitivity options supported by a range of power generators, to detect and reject contaminants, such as metal, glass, calcified bone or high-density plastics. This customization enables food and pharmaceutical manufacturers to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and comply with safety regulations and guidelines by consistently guaranteeing contaminant-free products.

In order to suit a variety of tall, rigid packaging applications, manufacturers can choose between a 0.4 mm and a 0.8 mm detector diode. The 0.8 mm detector technology is five times more sensitive to X-ray than traditional systems, ensuring unparalleled precision in the contaminant inspection of food and pharmaceutical products. For the inspection of composite cans, cartons, tubes, doypacks and plastic containers, for instance, producers can select a 20 watt generator which can result in a significant reduction of power consumption and cooling requirements, as it offers the sameprecisionas a conventional 100 watt device.

“Traditionally, food processors have needed to implement high power X-ray systems to inspect cans or glass containers athighspeeds, sometimes inexcess of 1,000 products a minute,” explained Daniela Verhaeg, marketing manager, SBU X-ray Inspection, Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray. “The X37 Series, with its new detector technology and class-leading inspection software, is able to offer equal or, in some cases, improved detection levels whilst typically only needing one-fifth of the standard X-ray energy power consumption.
Consequently, this allows food and pharmaceutical manufacturers to substantially reduce operational costs while also maintaining the utmost level of safety and quality fortheir products.”

The new X-ray range can be fully configured to the particular needs of a specific production facility. Manufacturers can, for example, select different highspeed reject systems to match their production needs and guarantee easy and effective product rejection. Suitable for a wide range of product types, the system is available with fully adjustable pusher and air blast options with a large vision window on the tunnel and chute. An optional removable rollertrack inthe reject chute can also be installed to ensure that products slide down the chute gently and to facilitate easy cleaning.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
