The precision-engineered, high-sensitivity XR75 series is the latest in advanced inspection and detection systems that set the standard for improving product quality and safety. Recognizing both the short-term and long-term needs of today’s processors and manufacturers, engineers designed the XR75 Inspection System to provide excellent sensitivity at lower energy levels for extended life cycles and a reduced total true cost of ownership. XR75 incorporates A.L.L new technology for critical system components – long life, low power components were implemented including the X-Ray tube/generator and detector. Sanitary design was improved with angled surfaces for water run-off, removable curtains for easy cleaning and tool-less belt removal.
Integration of weight inspection and metal detection with industry’s top-ranked sensitivity.
Space and cost savings is obtained with Anritsu's integrated inspection solution, the combination checkweigher and metal detector system. In one system you can receive high accuracy weighing and metal detection. This combination system is an integration of the SSV series checkweigher and duw series metal detector. This integrated solution combines the best-of-both worlds for safety compliance in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Adopting a simultaneous 2-frequency magnetization detection method, the dual wave (duw) series can detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. With over 40,000 industrial metal detectors installed globally, this metal detection equipment is reliable, and is easy to maintain and clean. With a duw series anyone can achieve high-sensitivity and stability.
An unconventional x-ray radiation system was developed for the KD7478AWH and KD7478BWH models in the Specific Applications line-up for tall products. A side view system with a different x-ray direction specifically designed for tall, upright containers was implemented into these two models. Each model can perform food inspection on products that fall within the size limit of 120 mm X 350 mm. Use this detection technology to detect contaminants in food stored within plastic bottles, stand up pouches and milk cartons to name a few of the upright product containers. The two x-ray inspection models cannot inspect anything in glass containers.
The Sanitary Design line-up consists of two models, one for packaged food and the other for unpackaged food. An air conditioner is equipped as standard to ensure the food is kept within its appropriate temperature limits to make sure it is delivered fresh and contaminant-free to its final destination. The enclosure and conveyor on both models are designed in accordance with the sanitary guidelines of the American Meat Institute (AMI). A high-pressure washable system also supports antibacterial production measures.
When large quantities of small packaged goods need to be inspected there are four models in the Specific Applications series of x-ray inspection systems. Two models - the KD7447DW and the KD7447DWE - can handle products up to the size of 590 mm X 250 mm. Meanwhile, the KD7337AWH1 and the KD7337AWH2 can inspect products up to the size of 690 mm X 250 mm. A large aperture infeed system allows for the inspection of large cartons, cases and bags, as well as those containing multiple small packs.
Food inspection for bulk flow of unpacked fresh food cannot be completed without one of the two bulk/fresh food models from the KD74 series.
Make sure you maintain continuous inspection of pumped products with the Pipeline x-ray system by Anritsu. The KD7483AFWH can inspect products 12 mm or smaller. This detection technology is suitable for the inspection of fluids and semi-solid products flowing in a pipe, such as sauces and fruit preparations. An air conditioner is equipped as standard.
Anritsu's DualX Technology has enhanced poultry filet inspection in the DualX KD7416DRWZ model. This x-ray technology is unique because it analyzes two different x-ray energy signals at the same time, allowing it to distinguish between product and contaminant. Even overlapping products can be inspected without false rejecting. It also enables a higher detection rate of low density items compared to conventional x-ray technology.
The KD74-h series consists of high sensitivity models that are of high power and high accuracy. Food inspection can be done on hard and soft contaminants. All items must be packaged to proceed through this food safety inspection, and can consist of things such as whole cheese, pasta and meat products.
Versatility is a defining factor for the food inspection KD74 series. This detection technology has a proven track record to suite a wide range of packaged products.
When you are looking for reliable x-ray inspection and simple construction, the Economy High Definition (HD) food inspection technology is the machine that has these qualities.
With a waterproof and dustproof exterior, the SSV-i series checkweighers are designed for unpackaged foods. Its hygienic design allows for stringent sanitary control for unpackaged fresh food, such as fish, poultry and other meat products. The waterproof exterior is needed during the cleaning process to ensure that all parts of the checkweigher remain intact and fully operational after being sprayed down and sanitized. The checkweighing system is not only used for weighing products and checking for missing products, but is also used for controlling filler or fixed weight, data recording and line monitoring.
Anritsu's QuiCCA software is the overall quality management and quality control system for all of Anritsu's inspection equipment. This software supports all aspects of production including past logs, current status and future problems. A quality control manager will never have to worry about constantly monitoring status production again with QuiCCA software. Developed with unmanned full automation in mind, when it's connected to a mail server, the machine's status and error messages can be sent directly and automatically to your mobile phone. The quality management system also has centralized control of the operational status of the entire production line, allowing it to conduct causal analysis to detect abnormalities before they even occur.
Anritsu HD and UltraHD X-Ray inspection systems provide solutions to contaminant detection that is not available from any other technology or supplier.

Surprise objects in food, and the anger and fear they create, can turn into viral news faster than you can say “recall!” Here are five considerations when upgrading from metal detection to X-Ray inspection.
If your business requires you to view large quantities of small packaged goods, you will benefit from the use of x-ray inspection systems. Anritsu offers four models of packaging industry x-ray systems that provide long-term flexibility and are incredibly user-friendly.
Engineered with precision and high-sensitivity detection, our HD systems are the superior choice for food safety inspection but, with so many models to choose from, distinguishing between each can be overwhelming. Are you debating which top x-ray inspection system is right for your processing needs? Here is a digestible overview comparing our new, XR75 advanced long life technology models:
Relative mass is the value which the difference of density between x-ray images of the reference master product and the inspected product is converted into mass. This application note explains the principles of the relative virtual weight measurement, usage, and cautions.
Today’s meat processors must overcome many challenges. X-Ray, Metal Detection, and Checkweighing have become clear choices in delivering the best solution to overcome these challenges.
Metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems are widely used for finding foreign body contamination. Let's see how these two systems can work together to improve contaminant detection.
The customer replaced another ‘brand’ x-ray system with the Anritsu KD7405DWT High accuracy Model with a 0.25mm high resolution detector and 350 watt variable x-ray power.
The products vary in size and the inclusions vary in density. To maximize results, a setting for each SKU or like SKU is set to allow for the software to adjust for variances from potatoes to carrots to broccoli.
Maximizing food safety in poultry processing has never been more important. As a result, poultry facilities are incorporating strategically-placed X-ray detection systems on-line throughout production facilities.
This application note shows results for a high-speed, flow wrap production line inspecting various types of granola and health bars for contaminants. The standard KD7405AWH with 0.4mm resolution was used.Additional benefits in this application are mass measurement, broken product inspection, dual lane inspection, and possibly “product in seal” detection to eliminate bad flow wrap crimp conditions.
Pipeline inspection provides excellent uniform presentation to control density presentation and maximize detection of low density contaminants. This application note explains special algorithms that have been developed to improve bone detection without sacrificing full contaminant detection.
Almonds were fed through the bulk flow x-ray system in a consistent flow usually using a vibratory conveyor. Results using this technique are very accurate compared to online installations. Quartz stones and standard test sample spheres were introduce on top of, below and inside the product for accuracy testing.
Accuracy and reliability are the two most important factors in food safety. Fortunately, the XR75 Advanced Long Life Technology from Anritsu contains both of these qualities, providing the safest and most efficient way to inspect food products. Setting a new standard for improving product quality and safety, it exceeds the needs of today’s demanding food processing industry through all of the following
Food and pharmaceutical processing plants use food metal detectors when they turn out quality, safe products. The production line is a fast-moving process, and both ferrous and non-ferrous metal may contaminate a run. As you know, this can be disastrous, with the result of the loss of an entire run of product. It can even shut down your whole operation, not to mention the health hazards if the batch is released without proper inspection. That is why Anritsu has developed the Dual Wave H Contamination Detector.
Anrtisu is known the world-over for designing and manufacturing exceptional food inspection technology that makes production lines safer and more efficient.
