X56 DXD+ X-ray System Detects Low-Density Contaminants
Low-density contaminants like rubber and plastic are difficult for conventional single-energy X-ray systems to catch, especially in complex packaged formats such as pet food, potato chips, or multipacks, where thickness, density, and overlapping textures vary widely. X56 DXD+ is a dual-energy photon-counting x-ray inspection system with AI capabilities, built to detect these contaminants reliably and help manufacturers meet regulatory and retailer requirements.
The system is powered by DXD+ detector technology and Advanced Material Discrimination Pro (AMD Pro) software, giving it detection sensitivity for noisy or high-contrast products where single-energy systems can fall short. AI integration helps improve inspection accuracy in complex scenarios like overlapping or mixed products, reducing unnecessary rejections. The system is built in a 19.7 in (500 mm) width and handles medium to large-sized products on single lanes or smaller packages across multiple lanes, with throughput up to 500 products per minute. It includes toolless belt removal for cleaning and a hygienic design for high-speed, high-volume environments. Built-in quality tools cover completeness checks, clip detection, and product-trapped-in-seal inspection. The system is compatible with a range of conveyor heights and reject options in single or multi-lane configurations, and records a full image database that can integrate with Mettler Toledo's ProdX data management software for centralized monitoring, real-time reporting, and audit readiness.
