The X12 X-ray inspection system showcases cutting-edge technology in product safety and quality assurance. Engineered to deliver exceptional contaminant detection capabilities, the X12 provides unparalleled sensitivity to detect a wide range of foreign materials, including metal, glass, mineral stone and dense plastics. With its high-resolution imaging and advanced algorithms, the X12 offers superior inspection performance, enabling snack manufacturers to safeguard their products against contaminants and uphold the highest quality standards. Designed as an entry-level solution, the X12 combines affordability with state-of-the-art functionality, making X-ray inspection accessible to all budgets without compromising on performance or reliability.
