With the Identus 80, Minebea Intec, a leading global manufacturer of weighing and inspection technologies, is expanding its portfolio with a new X-ray inspection system for packaged food. The solution combines high-resolution foreign body detection, comprehensive in-line quality checks and exceptionally simple operation in a single system, making modern X-ray inspection accessible to a wider range of users.
Minebea Intec’s new X-ray inspection system Identus 80 enables not only the reliable detection of foreign bodies such as metal, glass, stone, high-density bone and dense plastics, but also comprehensive in-line quality checks. “Identus 80 was developed to enable manufacturers to carry out reliable and comprehensive product inspection directly on the production line,” says Prashanth Gowda, product manager at Minebea Intec India. “This helps to strengthen product safety, product quality and brand reputation in equal measure.”
Compared to many established solutions, the Identus 80 utilizes high-resolution detection technology with a standard resolution of 0.4 mm. “The high image quality enables the reliable detection of even very small foreign bodies, thereby supporting precise quality assurance even for products with complex structures such as desserts, salad mixes or ready meals,” says Prashanth Gowda. “This increases process reliability and helps manufacturers ensure consistently high product quality for an excellent value for money.”
Thanks to the intuitive teach-in function, new products can be set up quickly and easily, reducing training requirements and commissioning times. The robust, hygienic stainless steel design allows for easy cleaning and supports use in demanding production environments. Furthermore, customers benefit from flexible configuration options, including different reject systems and software settings tailored to specific application requirements.
Upon its market launch, the Identus 80 will be available in India, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and South Africa. Manufacturing in India enables short lead times and rapid local service in the target markets. “With the Identus 80, we are expanding our range in the field of X-ray inspection to include a high-performance solution for high-growth markets,” adds Prashanth Gowda. “At the same time, we are laying the foundations for the further development of Identus.”
