MX2

Filling Pipe Detection (X-Ray)

The miho MX2 is a control device based on X-ray technology for detecting foreign metal objects in beverage containers, for use after the filler and capper — including for opaque bottles or metal cans. The inspection head uses X-ray technology to check for metal foreign bodies, such as filling tubes, in filled and closed beverage cans (aluminium or steel) or bottles.

The measurement is based on X-ray technology specifically developed for this purpose, with minimum radiation exposure since pulsed X-ray radiation is only generated during the short moment of measurement. The radiation emission is typically below the naturally occurring levels found in enclosed spaces.

Key Features

• Pulsed X-ray technology — minimal radiation exposure.
• Hand-wheel height adjustment.
• Compatible with opaque bottles and metal cans.
• Comprehensive fault statistics available.
• Connection to external production data acquisition systems possible.
• Optional HSPM control.
• Automatic request of specially prepared and marked test bottles to verify flawless operation.

Applications

Essential for beverage lines needing to detect metal filling tube fragments or other foreign metal objects inside filled and closed containers — a critical safety check after the filler and capper.
