X-Ray Inspection For Supplement Safety

Wellington Foods, a leading dietary supplement manufacturer, prioritizes product safety and regulatory compliance by using METTLER TOLEDO’s X37 X-ray inspection system. This advanced system detects contaminants such as metal fragments, glass shards, and dense plastics while also verifying product integrity, including fill levels and cap placement.

Designed for efficiency, the X37 supports high-speed inspections of up to 1,200 packages per minute and handles a variety of bottle materials, including glass, HDPE, and PVC. Wellington’s system, configured with a low-powered generator, optimizes energy consumption while maintaining superior detection sensitivity. The machine is user-friendly, featuring quick recipe changes and automated rejection of non-compliant products.

Given the strict regulatory environment for dietary supplements, Wellington Foods must comply with government standards, third-party cGMP certifications, and customer requirements. The company chose an X-ray system over a traditional metal detector to ensure comprehensive contamination detection, especially since tamper-evident foil seals prevent metal detectors from scanning sealed products effectively.

Wellington Foods relies on METTLER TOLEDO for its proven equipment reliability and excellent customer support. The X37 has enhanced their production line by ensuring the highest safety and quality standards while minimizing operational costs.
