Eriez will display its latest inspection and magnetic separation equipment at Pack Expo 2025 in Las Vegas, running from 29 September to 1 October.

The company will feature the PrecisionGuard X8 metal detector, SenseGuard X-ray inspection system, vibratory feeders and magnetic separators. Demonstrations will take place at booth SL-11000 in the Lower South Hall.

The X8 metal detector is designed to detect ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless-steel contaminants. According to Eriez, it includes an intuitive interface with a large touchscreen and auto-learn functions to simplify setup and operation. The SenseGuard X-ray system provides high-resolution imaging and software intended to identify a range of foreign objects and product irregularities.

Craig Lorei, global market manager-light industry at Eriez, said, “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. Pack Expo allows 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.”

Eriez said its systems can be used in combination to support processors in meeting safety requirements, improving productivity and maintaining product purity.
