May 01, 2013 Designed with wraparound detector to minimize blind spots, NextGuard™ provides thorough inspection for product contamination. System offers multiple contaminant detection algorithms and ability to modify, test, and change detection parameters on-the-fly. QA check mode automates operator audits and record keeping, while removable conveyor facilitates cleaning/service, and detector diagnostics warn when preventative maintenance is needed. Internet remote support hardware/software is included.

X-Ray System detects metals and other foreign objects in food.

Thermo Fisher Scientific    Minneapolis, MN 55433
Feb 05, 2013 With high-power X-ray source and compact sanitary drum motors that drive conveyor, Xpert C400 is suited for thick, dense, and/or high speed production, helping food processors meet stringent foreign object detection goals. In addition to detecting metal, glass, and dense plastics, system can analyze X-ray image to estimate weight and fill or determine whether packaged item has missing objects. Xpert C400 meets IP65 requirements for dust and washdown and operates from 5–40°C.

In-Line Process Analyzer enhances ground meat inspection.

Thermo Fisher Scientific    Minneapolis, MN 55433
Jul 13, 2012 To help meat processors meet specifications, solid-state E scan uses guided microwave spectrometer (GMS) technology to provide real-time fat, protein, and moisture percentage information. GMS technology lets analyzer see through ground meat and measure its constituents continuously as it comes through pipeline. Operated via 15 in. touchscreen, analyzer integrates seamlessly into process without flow obstruction and eliminates need for constant offline lab testing.

Food Safety X-Ray System has touch-free design.

Thermo Fisher Scientific    Minneapolis, MN 55433
Apr 20, 2012 Available with 15.75 in. wide belt and able to handle products up to 2.5 in. high, EZx 465 Touchless has 328 fpm max belt speed and eliminates need for shielding curtains typically used to block radiation by conveying product through inspection chamber via series of small slopes. Aperture with reduced height ensures X-ray scatter does not escape from inlet or outlet areas of system. Also, conveyor belt is slightly tacky to ensure products stay in place during upward/downward slope travel.

Checkweigher suits track and trace applications.

Thermo Fisher Scientific    Minneapolis, MN 55433
Mar 08, 2012 Versa RxV is all-in-one high-speed system (up to 550 bottles/cartons per min) that combines alpha-numeric and machine readable code printing and verification with checkweighing. RxV features single user interface. Customizable features enable manufacturers to select which code printer and vision system brand is added to checkweigher frame, while modular build allows companies to specify which components they prefer.

Universal Latch Rack provides safe storage of cryogenic tubes.

Thermo Fisher Scientific    Minneapolis, MN 55433
Mar 05, 2012 Designed for 2 and 5 mL Thermo Scientific Nunc Cryobank tubes as well as most standard Nunc and Nalgene cryogenic tubes, Universal Latch Rack incorporates flexible lid, which can pivot or be lifted off, making it suitable for handheld pipetting as well as automated dispensing via robotic picking and placing. Latch locks lid in place, providing stackable and secure storage to maximize freezer space with 48 tubes/rack for internally threaded caps or 24 tubes/rack for externally threaded caps.

In-Line Scale Control suits distribution warehouse environments.

Thermo Fisher Scientific    Minneapolis, MN 55433
Feb 03, 2012 Able to weigh each package 100+ times as it travels across scale, Versa Warehouse delivers accurate data without compromising line speed. Algorithms for variable package dimensions and weight promote further accuracy regarding processes involving diverse packages. Suitable for line speeds of up to 100 packages/min, control is offered for Thermo Scientific scales or as retrofit for existing units, supports packages up to 110 lb, and has overload protection up to 1,000 lb.
