What affects X-ray detection performance?

Detection sensitivity is not determined by the machine alone. Actual results can change according to the product, packaging, contaminant, and production setup.

Key factors include:

• Contaminant size and density
• Product density and thickness
• Contaminant position inside the pack
• Product orientation on the conveyor
• Packaging material and number of layers
• Conveyor speed
• Product uniformity
• Detector resolution, X-ray power, filters, thresholds, and software settings
• Installation condition, cleaning, calibration, and maintenance

Higher-density materials such as metal, glass, ceramic, and stone are generally easier to identify than smaller or lower-density foreign objects. Dense, thick, or uneven products can reduce image contrast and make detection more difficult.

The most reliable way to confirm performance is through a validation trial using the actual product, packaging, line speed, and required contaminant samples.
