Issue
A defective product with black tea bag jammed in the sealed part of the package went out to the market. The tea bag was damaged when a consumer bought. Therefore complaints were raised.
Solution
Installation of an X-ray inspection machine that can detect defective tea bags caught in the package seal.
Background：A defective product that was not possible to be detected by the human-visual inspection went out and complaint was occurred.
Black tea bags are wrapped in aluminum film to maintain quality. However, if any part of the product is jammed in the sealing of the package, the sealing (airtightness) can be lost, the aroma and flavor may be impaired, and the tea bag that wraps the tea leaves may be torn. Human-visual inspections have been conducted by inspectors, but it was difficult to inspect packages made of aluminum film.
Reason of installation：The best performance at the test in the customer's actual production line.
At an exhibition, SYSTEM SQUARE introduced and performed the X-ray seal inspection machine. The customer asked some inspection system manufacturers to have a test. Compared with others, there was no big difference in performance in the sample test. However, in an actual production test (in-line demonstration), SYSTEM SQUARE's inspection machine was able to detect defective products with the highest accuracy among them.
How it works：It becomes possible to detect a jamming fault that was impossible before because the package is in the aluminum film.
After the introduction of the inspection machine, it is now possible to detect a jamming of tags, strings, and tea bags containing tea leaves more accurately than by human-visual inspection. The customer is now able to detect faulty products that were often overlooked by human-visual inspections. They say that this has been effective in reducing the outflow of defective products.
-
- ▲In addition to the inclination correction, the high-grip conveyor belt is mounted to reduce the inclination of the inspected product.
-
- ▲The jamming detection performances for various products. Besides, it is also possible to inspect foreign objects such as iron, stainless steel, stone, glass, and high-density plastic.
-
- ▲The X-ray seal inspection machine can match the sealing location and number of area. It is possible to inspect according to the packaging form.
-
- ▲In addition to jamming inspection, foreign objects inspection, weight (relative mass) inspection, and shape inspection can be performed at the same time.
-
- ▲It is possible to perform high-sensitive seal inspection even for aluminum film and printed packaging materials, which were not possible to inspect with X-ray inspection machines nor optical inspection machines.
*Some cases may contain special options as necessary.

Model:
X-ray Seal Inspection System
SXS2-2154HC1D / SXS2-3474HC1D
Both Foreign body & Seal fault are detected with one system. After packaged even with aluminum or other material, the X-ray and optical system see inside and find “Jamming (Seal fault)”, “Foreign object”, “Relative mass”, “Shape”, “Numbers”, “Length”, etc.
