Food product inspection equipment on show at Interpack

Mettler-Toledo plans to showcase its latest product inspection equipment for the food manufacturing industry at the Interpack trade fair being held in Germany in May 2023.

The solutions to be shown for the first time include the X2 X-ray inspection platform and an entry-level X12 X-ray system, alongside its portfolio of inspection technologies integrated with ProdX data management software.

All solutions are positioned to help food manufacturers tackle the increasing need for digitalisation in the marketplace, as well as helping combat rising manufacturing costs.

The Mettler-Toledo booth, A60 in Hall 11 at the Messe Düsseldorf, Germany, will comprise several different themed ‘islands’. These will include areas dedicated to checkweighing, metal detection, X-ray inspection, vision inspection, track & trace and combination product inspection systems, in which more than one product inspection technology is integrated within a single frame. Visitors will be able to see a practical demonstration of how connectivity delivers a range of digital productivity and security benefits.

A new vision inspection system — the V13 Flat Pack Label Inspection System — will be launched globally at Interpack. This system performs inspection from the bottom up with a unique line scan camera, to inspect labels on the underside of flat packs at speeds of up to 300 packs per minute. This system completes the portfolio of Label Inspection solutions from Mettler-Toledo that carry out 100% label inspections from all directions, for all package shapes and for all label quality and data defects. The systems are modular and can be configured to match the customer application and are available as kits, standalone or combination systems.

“We are looking forward to bringing new product inspection technology and positive messages to our customers and prospects in the food sector at Interpack,” said Rainer Mundt, Head of Marketing at Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection, Germany. “Amid rising manufacturing costs and pressures from the supply chain, manufacturers need product inspection solutions that can make them more productive while making no compromise on food safety. We will be showing a range of systems and software that take them towards a digitalised and sustainable future; systems that will boost their productivity performance to dynamic levels.”
