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.
Our high resolution x-ray sensors offer glass detection down to 1.0mm and can detect glass within glass packaging down to 2.0mm.
We can inspect bulk goods and single packs, while some items can be inspected in the case or carton – saving valuable time.
