NextGuard TM X-ray Detection System

• Meet a broad range of food safety and quality requirements with the Thermo Scientific™ NextGuard™ X-ray Detection System.
• An affordable foreign object detection system for a wide variety of food applications.
• NextGuard X-ray Detection System is now designed with enhanced capabilities to inspect packaged products for missing pieces or components, under and over-fills, and contaminants using new, easily customizable vision software.
• It is an easy-to-use, cost effective and thoughtfully designed system that eliminates common barriers to transitioning from metal detection to x-ray detection.

•     Product verification software option allows users to execute a wide range of size, position and count inspections.
•     Additional algorithms target the detection of less dense contaminants such as glass or rocks in complex, textured products such as nuts or tea bag boxes.
•     Optional mass estimation software uses the density information in the X-ray image to estimate weight and detect under/over filled products.
•     Configurable for dual rejection, separating contaminated products from other quality errors. 
•     Standard system processor is now six times faster than the first generation NextGuard system, supporting high-speed contaminant detection and inspection as well as improved user responsiveness. 
•     Optional 0.4mm-pixel detector offers 3.2 times better resolution for improved metal detection in lightweight, homogeneous products such as powders or cheese.

•     Compact size for easy installation and use
•     Unique non-linear detector to eliminate inspection blind spots
•     Removable conveyor for simple directional change and maintenance
•     Intuitive Thermo Scientific™ VersaWeigh™ user interface and software
•     Modular design for high reliability and quick diagnosis and repair
•     Source and detector lifetime indicators to minimize expensive downtime
•     Built-in remote monitoring for quick problem determination

•     Complete rejection systems or rejection mechanisms for use on downstream conveyor
•     Stainless steel air conditioner for washdown environments
•     Alarm horn, no lead curtains, casters, guiderails
•     Radiation safety meters
•     UL or CSA site inspection
•     Spare parts kits
