Description
RAYCON BULK product sorting systems detect all contaminants that due to their density, chemical composition, or mechanical dimensions absorb X-radiation to greater degree than the surrounding product, for example, metal, glass, ceramics, and stone contaminants in food. RAYCON BULK will also detect some plastics (e.g. PVC, rubber).
The heart of the RAYCON BULK control is a high performance industrial PC incorporating a real-time operating system and sophisticated image processing software featuring user administration, multi-product memory, etc.
Operator input and set up is via a 10“LCD touch screen monitor (IP65).
- High performance long-life X-ray tube with integrated high voltage power supply
- High resolution detection unit
- Compact system design and low centre of gravity requiring minimum footprint
- Excellent radiation protection in accordance with all statutory X-ray regulations (<1 mSv/a)
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Flexible rejection and product handling options
The system comprises the following main components:
X-ray tube
X-rays, emitted from the tube, are collimated through a narrow slot, entering the product as a fan shaped beam from bottom to top. Product height and density determines the amount of radiation absorbed.
X-ray beam
Transport system
A fixed speed conveyor belt transports product through the collimated, line X-ray beam. Scanning takes place line by line.
Detector unit
The linear detector row installed above the conveyor belt converts the incident X-radiation into an electrical signal, from which a digital X-ray image can be created and processed.
Industry PC
Images are processed and compared with the “standard” product and “rejected” or “accepted”.
Vibratory Feeder
Bulk material is will be uniformly and continuously distributed over the conveyor belt by the vibratory feeder.
Separation system
Detected foreign bodies are precisely removed by a segmented separation system with minimal product losses.
X-ray images are evaluated by product specific image processing software contaminants detected and separated.
The RAYCON BULK sorting system’s innovative software offers many advantages:
The real-time operating system with flash card ensures
- Exact timing of individual foreign bodies even at high throughput rates
- Safe data storage independent of external influences
- Full processor performance is used only for product inspection.
- Control over all hardware components at each process stage
- No UPS is required for system protection.
Additional features and advantages:
- Ethernet connection for data transfer and remote maintenance
- USB port for saving images, product backup and software updates
- Multiple i/o capability for the connection of photo cells, reject and separation systems, etc. allowing flexible integration into the production line.
For easy hygiene operations the top cover can be folded away and fixed in the open position. All guard covers are equipped with safety switches which isolate the source when a cover is opened.
This allows an hygienic cleaning of the complete system.
