Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring the detection sensitivity of an x-ray device for recognizing foreign matter in a product, the x-ray device having a detector, the detection signal of which results in a detection image having a defined resolution, the detection image being evaluated in order to recognize foreign matter. In a test-body analysis phase, which is used to define the parameters for the product inspection, the damping of the detection signal in the detection image of the product by a test body of defined material and of defined size is measured and stored in the form of damping values. During the product inspection, the detection image of the product is offset at a plurality of positions using the stored damping values of the test body to determine the detection sensitivity.

Abstract: A material diverter for separating bulk goods includes a housing containing an inlet and at least two outlets, as well a guide element located between the inlet and the outlets that is pivotable about a pivot bearing in order to guide the material flow to one of the outlets. The material diverter further includes a pivot drive for pivoting the guide element, in order to align it between the inlet and one of the outlets. The housing includes a door that can be moved on the housing or removed therefrom. A first bearing element in the pivot bearing is located on the housing, and a second bearing element in the pivot bearing is located on the door. The guide element is received in the first and/or second bearing element such that it can be removed therefrom to facilitate servicing and cleaning of the material diverter and the guide element.
