X-ray inspection systems for packaged food products
Fanchi offers a complete portfolio of X-ray systems for inspecting packaged products. Typical applications include cartons, boxes, pouches, bags, trays and sachets that can contain a wide variety of dry or liquid food products.
Product Highlights
- Performance & Algorithm: Combines high detection sensitivity and low power consumption. Algorithms enhance product imaging, including image contrasting; Mask (masks product parts like packaging clips); and Box Remover (blanks packaging box/container edges to inspect only contents).
- A wide range of standard possibilities for ensuring product integrity and quality, including:
Checking completeness;
Determining product mass;
Determining compartment mass.

What types of packaged foods and packaging formats are these X-ray inspection systems suitable for?
A: Fanchi offers a complete portfolio of X-ray systems purpose-built for packaged food inspection. They work with a wide range of packaging forms including cartons, boxes, pouches, bags, trays and sachets, and are compatible with both dry and liquid food products, serving as a reliable end-of-line quality control solution for food manufacturers.
Q: What contaminants can they detect, and what technologies improve inspection accuracy?
A: The systems reliably detect a full range of foreign contaminants including all metals, glass, ceramics, stones and dense plastics. Detection sensitivity reaches 0.3mm for stainless steel 304 balls, 0.2–0.3×2mm for fine wire, and 1.0–1.5mm for glass/ceramic balls across the model range. Optimized imaging algorithms deliver enhanced image contrast, Mask function to shield packaging clips, and Box Remover function to blank packaging edges — all working together to reduce false rejects and improve detection reliability.
Q: Besides foreign body detection, what other quality checks can these systems perform?
A: Beyond contaminant inspection, they also support multiple product integrity verification functions: checking whether product contents are complete, determining total product mass, and measuring the mass of individual compartments for multi-section packages. This allows manufacturers to complete multiple quality control items in a single in-line inspection.
Q: How many models are available, and how well do they integrate with existing production lines?
A: Five standard models are provided with tunnel sizes from 300×120mm to 800×400mm, supporting load capacities from 5kg to 50kg to match different package specifications. All models support multiple rejector options such as flipper, pusher, air blasting, drop-down and heavy pusher. Standard line heights range from 700mm to 950mm with ±50mm customization available. Each system can store up to 100 product presets for fast SKU changeover, and is operated via a 17-inch LCD touch screen running on Windows 10.
Q: Do these systems comply with food industry hygiene and radiation safety standards?
A: Yes. The conveying section has an IP66 protection rating, and the full machine is built with 304 stainless steel, suitable for regular wash-down cleaning in food processing environments. All systems strictly conform to international radiation safety standards including EN 61010-02-091 and FDA CFR 21 Part 1020.40. Inspection data can be exported via USB and Ethernet ports to support full production traceability management.
