The X8 Metal Detector provides, according to the company, exceptional sensitivity to detect ferrous, nonferrous, and stainless-steel contaminants, even in demanding applications. It offers an intuitive interface with a large touchscreen and advanced auto-learn capabilities to streamline setup and operation.

Eriez X-ray Inspection Systems provide high-resolution imaging and adaptable software to identify a broad range of foreign objects and product irregularities, helping processors enhance product safety and protect brand reputation.

Attendees at the Eriez booth also saw firsthand how metal detectors, magnetic separators, and vibratory feeders can work in conjunction to maximise performance.

“By understanding the unique demands of each application, we can recommend the best combination of equipment and support to help customers achieve consistent, reliable results,” explained Craig Lorei, global market manager – light industry at Eriez.

“Pack Expo allowed us to engage in meaningful conversations with processors and packagers about their most pressing challenges – whether it’s satisfying stricter food safety regulations, reducing false rejects, or improving line efficiency.”

Beyond the specific equipment featured at Pack Expo, Eriez offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for the packaging industry.
