Thermoelectric Introduces New X-ray Detector

The world's leading manufacturer of analytical instruments, American Thermal Power, introduced a new X-ray detector Goring Kerr EZx for the Chinese market.

Mr. Joergen Olsson, Vice President and Global Sales Director of Thermoelectricity, USA, introduced to PD China (Packaging Expo): “The design of this X-ray detector considers the requirements of the Chinese market. Standardized, easy-to-use and installed X-ray detectors are particularly suitable. Products that do not use metal detectors, such as metallized film packaging to seal and block moisture."

The Goring Kerr EZx can not only detect foreign objects on the food packaging production line in a completely new way, but also has the simple humanized operating characteristics of the metal detector. In addition, the Goring Kerr EZx's X-ray inspection system has enhanced capabilities and sensitivities at an affordable price.

“Before we developed this product for the food packaging industry, we first reviewed the gap between the existing technology and customer expectations in the market,” said Bob Ries, Product Manager for Impurity Inspection Products in the United States. “The result is that we have found excellent detection sensitivity. The ease of operation of the metal detector has an extensive space for development in the effective combination of X-ray machines. Now, the customer's strict requirements on the technical level of the detection solution make the price of the X-ray impurity detection system gradually accepted by people."

In addition to X-ray foreign body detectors, U.S. Thermoelectricity has currently introduced packaging inspection equipment for the Chinese market mainly for metal detectors and weighing instruments. 100% of the main products and parts of these three products are produced by thermoelectric factories in Italy or the United Kingdom. The metal detector is mainly used in food, medicine and other industries. It is equipped with a global patented automatic monitoring system, which can instantly eliminate products containing metal impurities; X-ray foreign body detector is more widely used, can detect and reject fine metal, Products such as glass, crushed stone, plastic, hair, and other foreign objects; load-bearing instruments are also widely used in the food industry. The common features of all products are very compact and small footprint.

According to Joergen Olsson, “70% of users of thermoelectric and packaging-related products come from the food industry.” Companies that already use thermoelectric products include Lee Kum Kee, Unilever, and Danone.

American Thermal Power Corporation is the world’s largest manufacturer of multinational analytical instruments, with annual sales of more than US$2.7 billion, and products related to analysis, environmental monitoring, life sciences, process control, and other instruments and equipment. The thermoelectric company has branches in 30 countries around the world and employs 11,000 people. It provides integrated instrumentation solutions for the entire process from the lab to production and even product packaging. Not long ago, the company's new office building and customer service center in China was completed in Pudong, Shanghai.
