Abstract: A device for non-destructive inspection of containers (22) of food products comprises an emitter (24) emitting a divergent radiation beam, with vertical axis and a pair of detectors (26) detecting the radiation coming from the emitter (24) and passing through a container (22) to be inspected; the radiation detectors (28, 30) are linear detectors and are spaced so as to receive radiation (32, 32?) emitted by the emitter (24) according to two different directions.

Abstract: Inspection apparatus for product-containing glass vessels and/or cans for the food industry, having a static structure including two modular units mutually placed at 90.degree. in relation to each other and placed at 45.degree. with respect to a line of vessels being conveyed by the apparatus, one unit being equipped with a semi-panoramic emitter and a sensor, the other unit being equipped only with a sensor, equal to the sensor of the first unit. With this inspection structure with a single emitter and two sensors a 100% inspection is realized.
