  • Patent number: 10598613
    Abstract: Non-destructive X-ray inspection machine for individually packaged products having a bottom and a lid or cap in separate zones. The machine comprises a conveying apparatus having a transport plane adapted to convey products with the bottom resting on the transport plane, at least two X-ray emitters adapted to emit X-rays so that X-rays pass through the products at a top-to-down angle and at a down-to-top angle, respectively, in an inspection zone comprised in the transport plane. In the machine, at least one of the two emitters is freely adjustable in height and/or orientable in angle, within a predetermined range, relative to the transport plane, whereby the bottom of the product is inspectable without the X-rays of the two emitters intercepting the lid or cap of the products and optimal projection of the bottom of the product can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 6922459
    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.
