Glass Contamination & Glass Packaging Inspection

Detection of glass contaminants and glass packaging faults

Glass bottles and jars are prone to a variety of quality issues while glass shards pose an obvious consumer health risk. Breakages and glass contamination can happen despite the strictest safety procedures.

Glass detection via x-ray is the most reliable and cost-effective method for food manufacturers, pharmaceuticals and many other sectors.

Reliable glass detection, even in glass packaging

AIS’ specialist x-ray technology can be customised to the exacting requirements of your product, packaging and problem.

We can detect minute glass shards (and many other contaminants) in food and within all shapes and sizes of box or packet.

We can inspect bulk goods and single packs, while some items can be inspected in the case or carton – saving valuable time.

Our machines can simultaneously detect contaminants and many common quality issues including:

• Glass contaminant within a glass container
• Glass packaging faults such as cracked or damaged containers
• Low fill level
• Agglomerates

The equipment allows very rapid inspection and turn-around to ensure your products are safely back on the market as fast as possible.

We are ISO accredited to help manufacturers and suppliers achieve regulatory compliance including HACCP and TACCP.
