X-ray inspection VS metal detector difference-advantage and disaadvantage
Due to different principle:
X-ray machine inspection - density difference;
metal detector - electrical conductive.
Characteristic | X-ray inspection | metal detector |
Detectability | besides metal, glass, ceramics, calcified bones, some plastics. | metal |
Product effect | thickness | electical conductive. |
Capabilities | besides foreign metal, overal food quality: missing components, broken products, fill level, packaging integrity, defect inspection etc. | detect foreign metal |
Detection range | aluminum foil, cans, some Tetra pak, metallized film those metal packaging. can also inspecition. | mainly bulk, plastic |
price | high | low |
longevity | typically 5-10 years | typically 10-20years |
