High Speed X-ray InspectionThe InspireX R50G delivers outstanding contamination detection of foreign bodies as well as providing accurate full-height fill level checks. Capable of inspecting up to 1,200 containers per minute, without the need for additional product handling.
Wide Range of Container Sizes The position of the generator is vertically adjustable to suit a wide-ranging portfolio of food and pharmaceutical products and their containers.
The InspireX R50G X-ray system is the complete solution for glass containers, offering class leading performance to food and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The InspireX R50G incorporates an angled x-ray beam that shoots down through the base of the jar, maximising detection sensitivity, allowing for 100% product inspection. Fitted with the latest in detector technology, the InspireX R50G’s x-ray inspection system provides unrivalled glass-in-glass inspection.
InspireX R50G X-ray System Complete Glass-in-Glass Inspection
InspireX R50G Class-leading DesignSupplied with a fully integrated modular conveyor which is durable, fit for purpose and designed to deal with any glass breakages which may occur on the production line.
Conveyor Product TransferA three stage conveyor transfer reduces the transfer angle ensuring a smooth product transfer from the customer’s conveyor to the x-ray inspection conveyor.

Complete Glass-in-Glass Inspection
Software Capability • Newly developed XTP software
tools analyse products with the highest possible resolution, offering unsurpassed levels of detection particularly in challenging areas of the glass container.
• Fully automated set-up ensuring maximum production uptime.
• Adaptive filtering - meaning the container outer profile filters dynamically change for every container ensuring optimum detection and minimum false rejects.
• ProdX - Product Inspection data management software options deliver Production Management a wealth of real-time information, enabling the effective control of product inspection processes and devices.
Design / Hygiene • Class-leading hygienic design
following GMP, NSF and EHEDG principles.
• IP65 as standard and IP69K is available as an option for harsh wash down environments.
• Easy access to all machine areas with no hidden bug traps where bacteria could breed, ensuring minimum downtime and optimum protection against pathogenic micro-organism growth.
• Where possible sloped surfaces are used to ensure water roll off.
Flexibility / Safety • 360W x-ray generator to suit a
wide range of glass containers. • X-ray scan speed automatically
synchronises with customer belt speed, keeping one to one image ratio - no manual adjustments are required, ensuring maximum uptime of the production line, detection is optimised and rejection is never compromised.
Audits / Verification • Full statistics traceability for
quality reporting.• Images/statistics retained after
power down, ensures sensitive data is retained.
• Performance verification built in to ensure constant optimum performance.
• All reports/images downloadable to USB or via network for paperless record keeping.
• Reject confirm and bin full options ensure a 100% effective rejection from the line.
Quick, Easy and Cost Effective Installation• Completely integrated system
including transfer, inspection and reject conveyor meaning installation time and total cost of ownership is dramatically reduced.
• The InspireX R50G is delivered with the x-ray beam pre-aligned with integrated x-ray conveyor, only minimal alignment with customer’s existing conveyor is required.
• X-ray emissions fully contained removing the need for additional shielding over existing customer conveyor.

There are a number of different types of fully integrated high-speed reject systems available. The correct choice depends on a number of factors like type of environment, belt speed, container type, weight and size. All reject systems have optional reject verification, ensuring that the faulty product has been rejected into the reject bin, verifying the reject is working.
