Product Overview
This Keypack Intelligent(Kunbupack) X-ray Foreign Detector operates through advanced digital imaging technology where high-energy X-ray beams penetrate packaged products, creating detailed radiographic images analyzed by sophisticated pan-AI algorithms for real-time contaminant identification. This industrial X-ray inspection system detects metallic contaminants including ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass), and stainless steel fragments, as well as hard non-metallic foreign objects such as glass shards, ceramic pieces, calcified bone fragments, dense plastic particles, and stone contaminants that conventional metal detectors cannot identify.
Unlike traditional metal detection systems limited to ferromagnetic materials, this X-ray foreign object detector provides comprehensive inspection coverage for products in metal packaging (aluminum cans, steel tins, metallized films) where conventional metal detectors fail due to package interference. The system architecture integrates a precision X-ray generator, high-resolution digital detector array, intelligent image processing unit with deep learning algorithms, automatic rejection mechanism, and comprehensive data management system ensuring complete inspection traceability for food safety audits and pharmaceutical quality documentation.
The advanced pan-AI algorithm continuously learns from inspection data, improving detection accuracy while minimizing false rejection rates that waste product and reduce production efficiency. This intelligent X-ray inspection technology adapts to product variations in density, composition, and packaging format, maintaining consistent foreign object detection performance across diverse product lines in snack food manufacturing, ready meal production, pharmaceutical tablet packaging, and chemical powder filling operations.
