FT SYSTEM – Microwave Inspection

FT SYSTEM offers an innovative microwave inspection system for the detection of physical contaminants in food and beverages.
This technology can detect materials such as plastic, glass, wood, bone, rubber, insects and all types of metals, regardless of their size or composition, which may go undetected by traditional X-ray machines or metal detectors.

How it works:

Microwave inspection is based on the difference in dielectric constant between the product and the contaminant, rather than on the difference in density as is the case with X-ray systems.
The antennas placed around the container penetrate all parts of the product, ensuring reliable and accurate detection of physical contaminants.

Technical characteristics:

• Detects plastics, glass, wood, bones, rubber, insects and all types of metals, regardless of their size or composition.
• Identification of physical contaminants that are not detected by X-ray machines or metal detectors.
• Antennas surrounding the packaging ensure that contaminants are detected anywhere in the product.

Advantages:

• Guarantee of the absence of foreign bodies in the products.
• Prevent disputes and product recalls by ensuring the best possible brand protection.
• Safe for operators and the working environment thanks to the low power level (1 mW), which does not heat the product.

This technology is used at full line speed, as the inspection is carried out in a few tens of milliseconds and provides information on the type and location of contamination.

Microwave inspection from FT SYSTEM ensures a high level of product safety and quality, increasing consumer confidence and protecting the manufacturer's reputation.
