PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2017 Product Preview: X5C/CW3 Combination X-Ray System And Checkweigher

The popular X5C X-ray and CW3 Combo inspection system from Loma is capable of weighing products while simultaneously inspecting for foreign bodies, all in one integrated system.

The popular X5C X-ray and CW3 Combo inspection system from Loma is capable of weighing products while simultaneously inspecting for foreign bodies, all in one integrated system. The integrated "detect and weigh" technologies ensure food safety for brand protection and consistency in weight, size and shape.

Measuring just 2.5 meters in length, it can be easily integrated where production space is limited. Produced from 304 grade stainless steel, the combo unit is lead free and offers an unrivalled IP66 wash down design. Capable of running at speeds up to 150 packs per minute, it is operated using two independent control panels and has separate reject bins for out of weight and contaminated products.

The X5C unit reduces the cost of ownership of X-ray technology by 30 percent when compared to the company’s other X5 models, making it ideal for companies keen to make the switch to X-ray for the first time or to replace lower performance, ferrous-in-foil twin head metal detectors.

The X5C is ideal for the detection of all metal types, glass, calcified bone, rubber and stone in various packaging, even for products in foil or metallized film. The machine is capable of handling products up to 100mm (height) x and 300mm (width) and weighing up to 6kg — making it ideal for a wide range of inspection applications.

The fast and accurate CW3 series checkweighers can cope with a wide variety of flexible and rigid packs over a broad range of weight and has many options to meet all application needs, with options such as reject confirmation, bin full sensors and infeed guides.
