CX Combination: A Powerful 2-in-1 Solution for Contamination Detection and Weight Control

FoodTechBiz Desk

In an era where product safety and compliance with regulations are paramount, the CX Combination system emerges as a groundbreaking solution that seamlessly integrates high-precision weighing with advanced X-ray technology. This innovative system not only meets industry standards but also addresses specific product inspection requirements, making it a vital asset for manufacturers across various sectors. 

The Space-Saving Design

One of the standout features of the CX Combination is its space-saving design. In today’s fast-paced production environments, optimizing floor space is critical. The CX Combination system is engineered for seamless integration, allowing manufacturers to maximize their production capacity without sacrificing efficiency. By sharing essential components like sorting devices and product handling systems, the CX Combination minimizes the space needed for equipment, offering a streamlined approach to product inspection and quality control.

Modular Design for Flexibility

The modular design of the CX Combination system is another significant advantage. This ultimate mix-and-match principle allows businesses to customize their setup according to performance needs and budgetary constraints. Whether you need enhanced weighing capabilities or sophisticated X-ray inspection, the CX Combination can be tailored to fit specific requirements, providing flexibility that traditional systems often lack. 

Easy Operation and Maintenance

Ease of operation is a crucial aspect of any manufacturing system, and the CX Combination does not disappoint. Users can perform configuration settings and product changeovers directly from the checkweigher Human-Machine Interface (HMI), ensuring a user-friendly experience. The front access panel of the X-ray system facilitates easy cleaning, thereby reducing downtime and increasing overall operational efficiency. 

100% Weight Control

Precision is key in any manufacturing environment, and the CX Combination guarantees 100% weight control for every product type. Capable of operating at production speeds of up to 800 products per minute (ppm), this system reliably removes under-filled or incomplete products from the production line. This capability not only enhances compliance with weighing regulations but also bolsters customer satisfaction by ensuring that only fully compliant products reach the market. 

Product Safety and Quality Control

In addition to weight control, the X-ray inspection systems integrated into the CX Combination are designed to identify and locate physical contamination, regardless of the size or shape of the products. This level of scrutiny is instrumental in reducing food wastage and minimizing costs during the final packaging stages. The ability to conduct a range of completeness checks—such as detecting missing or broken products and identifying overfill or underfill conditions—enhances both product safety and overall quality. 

Advantages of Combination Systems

  • Reduced Total Cost of Ownership: Partnering with a single vendor for installation, training, and ongoing service can significantly improve operational efficiency. Shared components lead to lower spare parts costs, while comprehensive service solutions help achieve regulatory compliance and enhance system uptime.

  • Advanced Connectivity Options: Integration with ProdX™ food safety and quality management software allows for real-time monitoring and ensures compliance. Open interfaces like OPC UA, PackML, and Fieldbus facilitate IoT and Industry 4.0 initiatives, enabling seamless data access and analysis from any location.

  • Customized Solutions: The versatility of the CX Combination enables manufacturers to choose from a variety of inspection technologies and product handling options to suit their unique packaging and manufacturing environments.

Conclusion

The CX Combination system represents a powerful 2-in-1 solution that combines contamination detection and weight control into a single, efficient unit. With its space-saving design, modular flexibility, and advanced operational capabilities, it stands out as a critical tool for manufacturers looking to enhance product safety, compliance, and overall efficiency. By investing in this cutting-edge technology, businesses can not only improve their operational processes but also ensure they deliver the highest quality products to their customers.
