Detect Hidden Contaminants with the Thermo Scientific NextGuard X-rays

Intech Solution proudly offers the Thermo Scientific NextGuard X-ray, a powerful solution for inspecting packaged products with pinpoint accuracy. This industrial x-ray machine is widely trusted in food processing and packaging lines for its ability to catch what metal detectors can’t. Designed for ease of use, this system helps manufacturers meet global food safety standards without disrupting workflow.

The wide X-ray beam and non-linear detector help inspect every product completely, avoiding any blind spots. Whether you’re checking for foreign objects, verifying mass consistency, or looking for missing components in a pack, the NextGuard detection system delivers reliable performance. It is compact, easy to install, and features a removable conveyor for quick maintenance and cleaning.

Operators can run checks, adjust detection settings in real time, and export audit data using the protected touchscreen interface. For any manufacturer looking to improve product quality checks and maintain customer trust, the NextGuard X-ray system is a smart, future-ready investment.

Why Choose the NextGuard Detection System for Food Safety

The NextGuard detection system is designed with that pressure in mind. It meets global retailer standards and complies with HACCP principles, giving you confidence in every batch.

The system doesn’t just catch foreign materials, it also checks for underfilled, broken, or misplaced items. With built-in algorithms and software updates, it adapts easily to different product types. Whether you’re inspecting meat, bakery items, snacks, or ready meals, this NextGuard inspection system handles it with precision.

Operators can configure up to three types of quality audits. The system will prompt these audits, run them, and store the data separately from the regular production files.

Features of the NextGuard Inspection System

The NextGuard inspection system is practical. Its modular conveyor removes easily for cleaning or belt changes. Conveyor direction can be changed in less than an hour, and the system works with a variety of belt speeds and product sizes.

One standout feature is the unique detector design. Many industrial x-ray machines have limitations due to narrow detection zones. The NextGuard uses a wide beam projected from the bottom, which eliminates this problem.

A Smart Industrial X-Ray Machine for Modern Needs

The Thermo Scientific NextGuard X-ray brings together performance, usability, and smart design. With its compact footprint, powerful detection algorithms, and global certifications, it’s ideal for both growing businesses and large production lines.

The NextGuard X-ray is certified by multiple international bodies and complies with safety laws across Europe, North America, and Asia. At Intech Solution, we believe that investing in the right technology now leads to fewer issues later.
