Eight Reasons To Switch From Metal Detection To X-Ray Inspection

Eight compelling reasons to seriously consider stepping up to the latest technology and why food plants should be using food X-ray inspection systems.

X-ray can improve the contaminant detection capability compared to traditional metal detectors. From a very attractive cost of ownership, to easy set up and the ability to find metal contaminants, glass, stone, plastic, and bone, X-ray systems offer a more sensitive and versatile contaminant detection system.
