The AdvanCheK Plus x-ray system can perform contamination detection and simultaneously perform gross mass measurement on single lane applications.

The x-ray system creates an x-ray image which shows up as varying tones of grey. The more product, the darker the image. By converting these grey tones into a 3-D image, the AdvanCheK Plus can calculate how much product is in the pack. To check that the correct amount of product

is present, the x-ray system compares each x-ray image of a pack with an image from a known good pack.

If the calculated mass falls within a programmed tolerance, the pack is good. If it deviates, the pack will be rejected.

It is recommended to install two different reject bins. One for contaminanted products and one bin for products which contain the wrong mass.

AdvanCheK / AdvanCheK Plus Capabilities

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.
